Western chassis is who makes them. I got them from a Cooper tire store a friend of mine owns $45.00
It took me about 20 minutes to install them. They come with two diferent positions 1" and 2" lower.

Like I said I went with DJM shackles. I got them from Stylin Concepts and they cost a little under $60 shipped. It should take about 30-45min to put them on. One suggestion...don't over tighten the bolts or they will squeak.

I'm looking for a good deal on a rear anti-sway bar to add also.

My son just bought a hellwig sway bar for his lowered (2" front; 4" rear) 1997 F150. It wouldn't fit properly because the sway bar links are too long. Hellwig says not to cut or modify any of their components. Better check it out before you order the lowering kit or sway bar.
