OEM Shackle Length
Hello Everyone,
I just bought a 2011 Ford F-150. This truck have aftermarket Belltech leafspring shackles to lower the rear. The truck is sitting level with no load but this creates excessive rear sag when towing. I would like to return the rear to stock height or close to it. What is the OEM shackle length from bolt center to bolt center?
I will use this information to adjust mine to be as close as possible to stock.
Thank you very much.

The factory-replacement parts on the various sites don't appear to list this dimension. You might want to go find a stock 2011 F150 in the wild and ask the owner if you can measure it.
. . . or maybe someone here will chime in with a measurement.

Unfortunately that is true. No website lists it. I will just buy new shackles and call it done. They are not very expensive anyways.
