Lowering Kit for a 4X4

I know this goes against all the laws of the universe (just keep in mind the universe is vast) but I am looking for a lowering kit for my new 2005 F150 4X4. I have seen a kit available on groundforce's website (part #9966), however I have not been able to find it on any retailer's site. Can anyone tell me where I can find a lowering kit for a 2005 F150 Lowering Kit? I would be eternally grateful.

The have a kit specific to the 2wd
http://www.truckaddons.com/04_ford_f150.htm

Then the have the shackle Kit, the Shackle kit will lower the rear end so that it is level to the Front end. Unless you are looking to lower it more then that!

Thanks seppypom, in order to get to the website, I had to use truckaddons.com. I now see the shackles. Will this change the ride quality any?

Don't know, i just remember seeing them there a while ago. Since you are not actually changing the springs i think that i should ride the same.

I know that on my high school cars, when I shackled them up, it did not change the ride muck, just gave me tire clearance. Maybe somone in the suspention Group might be able to help.

I put lowering shackles on mine instead of the daystar front lift and it is more sure when it comes to body roll in curves. I didn't have to align anything and it is hardly noticeable except that the truck is more level. Just for info the 2wd and 4wd have the same suspension now except for the little axles and spindles up front. The 2wd has less bend in the leafs and shorter coils. Why don't you just trade with someone with a 2wd?

Why not just pull out the block that comes in all 4wd's to make the rear taller?

Hi,
Did your lowering kit "Level" the truck? Did you need to re-aim the headlights? I have the '04 XLT SuperCab Short bed.
Thanks!
