Drop shackle brand

After doing some reading it appears dropping the rear is a better option than raising the front. What are some recommended brands to look at. This is for a 93 f350 CC RWD. Thank you

Neither one is a good option. Don't molest trucks. Brands that might help you would be like Viagra.

You say dropping the rear is the better option than raising the front, but to what result? What are you looking for?

It's a 25 year old truck & not your 13 year old daughter.

It's also a shackle swap not self-administered kitchen table brain surgery.

I was thinking it was all more selfish than that. Hold my beer and watch this. I got the perfect tool to jack up this truck.

To be clear it’s better for me not to raise the front, truth is I don’t want to realign the truck right now, I just put new tires on so I’m good for a while with the front clearance.

You still haven't answered my question. Why are you fiddling with the suspension height?

My preference, the nice thing is if I begin to place heavy loads or want to swap it back should take an hour or so. This is just a secondary vehicle that I can jump in dirty or whatever so I dont have to trash my 2012 Boss 302 with 16k miles on it, and keep the miles down on it as well. No other reason than what I want.

I am in the process of painting the truck (not sure if I'll ever do this again LOL) and replacing shocks, wheels, exterior parts etc and thought I would like the rear a little lower or the front a little higher, I do not want to re-align the front, plus the tires/wheels fit well on the front and the rear has more "gap" than I prefer. If I dont like it, no problem, $84 shipped and an hour of time isn't that big of a commitment.

I hope that answered your question in further detail!!!!

So, you're looking to level the truck then, not concerned about ride height. With that goal in mind, I agree dropping the rear is less effort.
