Thanks! The floor does have a little dip in the center for the drain but the rear seams to sit a little lower than the front. Putting in a shackle is the only way to remedy?

you could also put an add-a-leaf in that will help some but may stiffen up your ride

Thanks a lot. Looks like i will be looking into a good 1.5" shackle kit. I measured the wheel gap up front and in the rear and the front is higher by just over an inch so i figure a 1.5" kit would be perfect, especially since it won't effect ride quality.

I have been looking at a bunch of different kits online but dont know which are best and which are crap. Anybody have any recommendations on a good quality kit

I heard that there's a glossifier for plastidip. Anyone have tried this? I like a glossy than a matte finish.

Yeah I tried it, it doesnt look good. Plasti dip adheres really well to the body so if there are any imperfections or flaws the gloss shows them really well, the matte makes it all blend together.
