What rear lowering shackles fit '08 F150?

All the kits I've seen so far specify fitting 2 and 1/2" springs. The '08 springs are 3" wide. That's Belltech and Ground Force: 2.5".

Well ground force does list their 04+ F150 shackles specifically for the 08 model year, you dont have a heavy duty package or anything do you?

No...not a heavy duty package. I do have the "Limited" package, though. As far as I can tell, it's all cosmetic... similar to a "Harley" package, except mine's white instead of black. My tow and GVWR ratings are actually less than a similarly-configured Lariat or XLT. I am guessing it has more to do with my 22" wheels and 3.73 diff than it does with springs.

I will wait untill after holidays, then call tech support at Ground Force. They will know for sure. Maybe I just need to measure my springs again, LOL!

All 04+ F-150 trucks use 3'' wide springs.
