I found this over on the 7.3 forum. It is a shackle lift leveling kit that several people on the 7.3 forum is running. I am about to buy it for my 04. Heres the link.

Here is it installed on FTE member rampage's truck.

 

Looks good to me. And for only $50 not bad.

 

That looks better than good. I was considering leveling my 04 with the front drop hangers but this is much cheaper/easier. rbloodhound, are you going to buy them soon? Maybe you could do a tech write up on how easy it was to do and what problems you had......that way I can do it worry free. Im a great friend arent I?

 

would that affect the caster angle enough to be a problem?

 

The thread in the 7.3 forum has several people running these exact shackles without any alignment problems.

I will do a tech write up on it. It should be pretty simple. I have a buddy that does alignments at a tire shop so I will know exactly how it effects the alignment.

 

Like you said, it should be pretty simple, but good luck.

 

looks rigid enough, but it does kind of work against itself with pushing the pinion down, and messing with the caster a little bit. For the little bit its lifting it, it shouldnt be an issue though. just dont want some smart guy to make some 11" long ones thinking its cool......

 

Thats what the minions are for!

 

I ordered them last night. They should be there by the time I get home in a week. I will try to find the tim to do it then. I'll let you all know how it goes.

 

pictures..lots of pictures. Even if its something simple, pics can give alot of good info, even it further down the line...

 

I am interested in how it turns out...
I am thinking of doing a 2in hanger lift...

 

it will be a little over a week before I start on it. I will take lots of pics and tell everyone what my alignment man has to say.
