So I installed 2" lowering shackles on my 1990 2WD. At the same time I am replacing my rear shocks with new Bilstein 24021715 shocks. Bilstein gives this part number for applications lowered 0-4" however my passenger side shock seems way too short. In this photo I forced it into place but as you can see now the rear sits crooked. Once the truck is on the ground it sits evenly but I am sure the travel is comprimised. Is this normal? Any way to correct this? I've heard of people using shock extenders but not sure if that's what I would need especially with only a 2" shackle drop.
I did drive the truck about 5 miles around town after the install and it didn't make any new noises even around tight turns. Everything seemed to feel fine however it was only a short drive.
Thanks
