so these till just bolt up? or im gunna have to do the same modification you did? and they will give me about 2 inches... the front dropped quite a bit...

They bolt right up using the stock bolts but you'll need to pull up the fuel filler hose or else the shackle will hit it.

Here is a pic of my truck with the keys and drop leafs.

Here is a pic with titan wheels. Again with the rear leafs. When I changed over to the shackle/hanger drop, the rear was 3/4" higher than with the leafs.

No. The above pics are with the drop leafs (which gave me a 4.5" drop). The shackles alone should only give you a 2" drop. If your front is too low you can crank up the keys and lift the front a little.

Also for reference the tires above are 28.25" in diameter.

This is what the drop leafs look like. You won't be able to tow with these unless you use some type of helper bags or something. Not my truck.

haha i kno im prolly a pain in the ass!!! but what if i got the flip kit?!?! and didnt mess with the shackles or hangers?!

Here is the flip kit for a 2wd 2dr tahoe (not 100% sure if the hangers are the same between the 2wds and 4wds).

I believe this kit uses some sort of lifting hanger to bring it up to 4" or the flip kit would drop it lower. Im not an expert on these thing so maybe someone else will chime in.

Here's belltech's flip kit. This one drops a 2wd 2dr 5.5".

This one looks like it uses some type of lifting hanger too.
