You can just loosen the bolt until you get to the height you want. with any suspension work you should get an alignment but you will probably be fine with just lowering it an inch and calling it a day. Every tuck is different tho.

Should be a few turnes to drop that inch your looking for, Trup on here did his 3rd gen with a kick ass setup before he sold it.

welcome to RF, I have heard of lowering some by loosening the torsion bars, but never knew exactly how much you could get out of it

Recent pics with shackle install with setup of winter wheels .

I have 3/4'' higher in the back. I thought that shackle lower more than that, I think I will not lower the front.

shackle 2'' but lower only 1 1/4''
