I'd like to lower the rear of my truck about 2 inches in order to level it out.
I've heard of the shackles, but have been unable to find any for a 73.
Any help?

Thanks,
Don

there should be a set of factory lift blocks on the rear axle just take those out and it should level it out instead of installing lower shackles

I have had a bunch of trouble with AIM stuff over the years, although they do sell what you are after. I would recommend DJM suspensions. Check them out at DJMsuspensions.com. They also sell what you are after, and i have had good luck with their products. FOMOGO

 

AZ4x4f150 - Where would those factory lift blocks be located?

FOMOGO - I'll give DJM a try if the factory lift block thing doesn't pan out.

On top of the rear axle, below the leaf spring.

The lift blocks would be located under the leaf spring pack on top of the spring perch which is welded to the axle to hold your axle to the truck ford put lift blocks in their 4x4 and 2 wheel drive trucks for load situations when you load the truck the truck should (key word should ) look level all you would need to do to lower the rearend is take the blocks out and retighten the u-bolts to the axle.

 

Are those factory lift blocks also on the 91 F150s? I would like to level my truck as well.

Have a look in my gallery there are pictures of what lift blocks look like and where they are.


Primary rig is:
95' F-150 EB 300/6 5 spd with 4" Superlift, MSD, Ram Air, Gibson Exhaust, 32" BFG Muds

Nope. Mine doesn't have em. Oh well.
