    The knuckles on the leaf springs will "squeak" against the seam if you don't flatten it. You'll need to cut a bit of the seam (I used a rotary cutting disc that had a decent reach) and then use a hammer and a punch to flatten it against the bed. Give it a bit of paint to prevent rust when complete. Also, I didn't need to remove the hitch.

    Brilliant team work, Justin and Caleb, I believe. Keep it up. That rust must be caused by the salt used on icey roads. Must do something about it while you still can.

    Heads up the floor jacks you used are now currently under a recall at harbor freight just went in to hand mine back for a gift certificate of equal price.

    That trucks only 4 years old and the frame is starting to rust. They dont make anything to last anymore. You should make a undercoating video in the future.

    I have a '15 2500hd and installed the same shackles. Looks great. Curious if you installed bags for towing to counter the sag. I'm having trouble and seeing mixed reviews on bags fitting that are made for this truck's factory height.

      I'm also curious as to what brand was used, thinking of doing this to my 2015 instead of raising the front.

    so did you guys happen to just install the drop shackle in the back and keep the front stock or add leveling kit to the front with the drop shackle. I have a 19 Duramax and want to level the front 2" and drop the back 2" baby squat. but like the video!!!!

      Get you some sulastic shackles with the 1.5 drop. Remove your third leaf spring and replace all your shocks with Bilstein 4600 series use spacers for front shock and if you turn the front up be sure to get Kryptonite or Cognito upper control arms. You'll like the ride.
