Shackles F250
Hey everybody, Anyone have a place to just buy Hanger and Shackle brackets looking for 4 inch to 5inch, I already have a 4 inch lift on my 04 f250 but looking to put 38's under her, on a budget. I ve seen kits online but just want the brackets not everything.

I have 2'' hangers and shackles I got from Sky for $195
They are pretty stout and fit well

Thats all I can tell you from my experience
I really didnt want to go much bigger on hangers and shackles than 2''

4 inches of spring and another 4 to 5 inches of hanger is going to open a whole new can of worms.
This is the magic heigth where the front driveshaft starts to get a little short, if you are still using a front sway bar, and will continue to do so, the sway bar links will be too short.
The trac bar is also going to be too short, and a new bracket will be required, as will the angle on the drag link. A drop pitman arm will be needed to keep steering at a reasonable angle, and to keep the trac bar at the same angle.
While you can re-locate the brake lines, and ESOF hoses (if equiped), these too start to get a little on the short side.
There is a little more to this than just a hanger and shackle.
