That looks better than good. I was considering leveling my 04 with the front drop hangers but this is much cheaper/easier. rbloodhound, are you going to buy them soon? Maybe you could do a tech write up on how easy it was to do and what problems you had......that way I can do it worry free.

Im a great friend arent I?

The thread in the 7.3 forum has several people running these exact shackles without any alignment problems.

I will do a tech write up on it. It should be pretty simple. I have a buddy that does alignments at a tire shop so I will know exactly how it effects the alignment.

Like you said, it should be pretty simple, but good luck.

looks rigid enough, but it does kind of work against itself with pushing the pinion down, and messing with the caster a little bit. For the little bit its lifting it, it shouldnt be an issue though. just dont want some smart guy to make some 11" long ones thinking its cool......
