So, I bought some drop shackles from Jay today. He was nice enough to help me install them at his place this morning...

Thanks Jay for helping install them....honestly, you did 90% of it, and I appreciate it...thanks Lee for taking these great pics!

I also traded Kevin's (another friend) brother, Alex some tinted tails for a soft tonneau, that will be mounted as soon as I get black bed rail caps, which will be soon.

I didn't really know if we'd get a noticeably different look, but man, as soon as we lowered the jack, it was obvious. I told Jay while we were installing these, if I didn't pull a trailer every once in a while, I'd go ahead and pull the overload spring, just to get it dead set on level, but it's pretty close now.
