anyone used these 2" leveling shackles?

anyone used these?

2" 99-04 Ford Super Duty 4x4 Front Leveling Lift Shackles @Top Gun Customz

sound pretty cool and would be easy to install

I dont think I would need a adjustable trackbar for only 2" of lift

I don't have those exact ones, but some from eBay that look exactly the same. I love them and super easy to install. I have to disagree with the not needing a adjustable track bar though. On my truck with these shackles my front axle is pulled to the drivers side by 1/2". Doesn't effect tire wear or anything but makes the axle not truly centered. Love the shackles though.

Nope, replace the stock shorter version with a longer one. Just make sure you disconnect the sway bar before you install. Makes things a lot easier.

Keep in mind these will change the caster and pinion angles. Maybe not enough to be problem, but be aware.
