Hello
I've installed a lowering shackle/hanger set for my '85 C15, yet I didn't notice that much difference !!
Compared to other C10; Mine has six leaves instead of five !!!
Could it be that extra thick leaf, shown in pic ?!. Should I remove one more to gain the needed drop ?! ( looking for 4" drop in rear )
Your input is appreciated.

Your pic shows the shackle but what hanger did you use?

Yes, more pics pls.
Sounds like your truck came with the optional 'camper kit' rear suspension. My K10 listed it as an option. 6 leaf springs, removed #2 and 3 from the bottom up. Much smoother ride, my wife even noticed.
Bilsteins didn't hurt either.

Properly it did come with an extra "thicker" leaf. I removed it and the last one "smallest". I looks fine now & I think I may need to align the bed, or take a second look on the bushings. Thanks for the tip

I don't get why you want the rear to sit lower than it is?
