Gdydi 4" Drop Shackles & Hangers Kit for 1988–1998 Chevy/GMC C1500 Short‑Bed — 4" Rear Drop, Powder‑Coated Steel

GDYDI 4" Drop Shackles and Hangers Kit is a heavy-duty rear suspension lowering set designed to drop and level the rear of 1988–1998 Chevy/GMC C1500 2WD short-bed pickups by four inches.

This complete rear drop kit from Gdydi includes two hangers, two rear drop shackles and the required mounting hardware, engineered to replace stock components and provide a clean, reliable 4" rear drop. Constructed from thick steel with a powder-coated, rust-resistant finish, the kit is intended for 1988–1998 Chevy C1500 and GMC C1500 2WD short-bed trucks only — it will not fit long-bed or crew-cab models. The hangers mount at the front end of the leaf spring while the shackles attach to the rear end, and the kit was built for straightforward bolt-on replacement using four of the six holes on the original bracket as shown in the product images.

How much drop and leveling can I expect from this kit?

Install this Gdydi kit to achieve an approximate 4" rear drop and bring the bed of your truck into a more level stance with the front. It’s designed specifically to lower the rear rather than alter ride height elsewhere on the vehicle.

• Roughly 4 inches of rear lowering.
• Helps level the truck’s profile when paired with stock front ride height.
• Designed to maintain leaf spring geometry for predictable handling.

Will this fit my truck and how is it installed?
