Questions on 2 inch drop shackles for my truck
I have decided to try dropping the rear of my new to me 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD LTZ. I either have to raise my 5th wheel or lower my truck in order to tow level and to obtain more clearance between truck and 5th wheel. I do not haul heavy loads in the truck other than a load of mulch maybe once a year. It was purchased with the intent of pulling my 5th wheel now and any new 5th wheel in the future.
I was researching what is involved and it seems the most difficult portion of this is removing my hitch to install these shackles.
Now my question is what brand to purchase? I have found prices at Auto Zone at $30 bucks or so up to $150.
Two name brands that came up are Belltech and Mcgaughys.
I have no clue what brand or if the no name brand from Auto Zone are good and SAFE. I'm not against paying for what is best but I also do not want to pay for what is not needed. Safety first please!
Thanks in advance for your help!
