2" Lowerign Shackles

Hi all I have been reading for a while and have a question. I have a 2005 ram 1500. I recently replaced the factory 17" wheels with some 2006 20" wheels. Can I still use the 2" lowering shackles? Also is the speedo calibrated thru the computer or is it gear driven? I am trying to figure out how to reset it to the bigger tire.

Is there a diameter difference between them? It's not so much the wheel size difference but the tire height. It's an electronic speedometer. Yes you can use the shackles, I have them on mine with 20's.

The new tires are about 3" taller. So I have to have the computer changed. I assume the dealer has to do this?

Yes, unless you know someone with a dealer computer or you have a tuner. Tuner adjustment isn't permanent though.
