Belltech ?

Has anyone used belltech rear lowering shackles to level their truck?

And did you have to use shorter shocks?

I put them on a 95' F150 MarkIII conversion truck when it was new and they worked great with no shock change. Got over 90k miles on it with no problems. Good bang for the buck in my opinion.

I think most people hear would probably prefer to raise the front of there truck to level it. Unless you are going for the lowerd look. But its fairly easy on our style of truck to level the front out.

I need to lower it to make it more accessible for my powerchair.So I figured the 2 inch lowering shackles would work well for what I need.

I have pics of a 02 with the 2 inch shackles somewhere. If I can find them I'll post them. It levels the truck & is about the cheapest way I know to do it.
