I'm not sure if modifying them would be too safe lol, the drop shackles are usually only $40 or so :)

Thank you very much HemiBabe, I appreciate your replay and I will keep in may mind your comment about safety.
Thank you a gain.
Note: it's not costly but the shipping to me is the costly.

The other thing to consider is you will be getting a new bushing by purchasing a new lowering shackle. So I'm not sure how much shipping is but I have to think it is worth it to purchase new rather then risk the stock one modded.

It would be better to buy the new shackles, over modifying the old ones. I believe that they heat treat the shackles to make them stronger, so when you cut the old ones it may weaken them significantly.
