I just bought a 91 F150 Custom 2wd and want to lower the backend just a bit. Has any one used DJM drop shackles? Could you suggest a good performance tire for these trucks. I don't want it slammed, just a more aggressive yet functional stance. Thanks

 

The drop shackles will drop the back 2in . I did the hanger & shackle drop of 4in & 2in spring drop in front . Run 315 60 15 MT thats a 30 in tall tire with plenty of room . Lew

 

yup i have those drop shackles to.. havent installed them yet tough

but i have 295/60-15 tires in the back

 

Thay work great, tires i use yokahama's avs series but the stop making them DAMMIT !, another good tire is toyo proxes, general UHP, falken,

 

Ive got the shackles too. They worked out great.

Toyo Proxes or Falken Ziex are good performance tires. I have the Falkens and love them.

 

if your only goin 2 in have u considerd taking a leaf out of the spring pack it will also make your ride more comfertable
if u take tha longest spring out of tha pack its simple and no special tools required
i do this on alot of trucks for people

 

That will work to, shackel install is simpler,

It takes 30 to 45 Minutes to install shackels !

It drives so mutch better after the drop after the (Center Of Gravity) is droped.

 

i was considering doing this too, and i tried Nokian tires and so far i LOVE them

 

I don't haul alot, maybe some rock and mulch once or twice a year but I still want to haul/tow my quad to. Wouldn't this lower my towing/hauling capacity? I think I will do the shackles. Got good reviews. Thanks for the info though!

 

ya itll drop your towing capability quite a bit
witch is alright for some people

 

Can anyone post a before and after pic so I can get an idea of the difference it makes. I appriciate the replies!

Thanks

 

I though it might just wasn't sure.

 

I'll post some when i get home there on a differnt hard drive!

 

Thanks Jason!

 

I have before pics but no after pics and my truck is wayyy to dirty to take a picture of it
