my friend got a 01 ford super crew and wants to lower the rear 2-4'' what options does he have?and does anyone know of a good shop for this job in southern california near los angeles, or inland empire thanks

 

Drop shackles for about 2-3" maybe a flip kit if you want more drop

 

Shackles are the easiest and will drop the back 1-3 inches. To get 3 inches, he will have to get JLP shackles. They are the only company that makes them. Drop hangers are good for 2inches and are a major PITA to replace. Drop springs will get you 3 inches and reduce payload. Flip kit will drop the rear end 6-7 inches.
If he decides to go w/ just shackles, he can replaced them easily. dropkit.php

 

who makes the best drop shackles??? and of the others which one do u guys think is the best way to go??

 

For 2-3 inches, shackles are the only way to go. Belltech, DJM, Chassis Tech, JLP all make good shackles.
