Lift shackles

i was looking for a company that sells shackles for the 99-04 F-250s and all i can find that are available in 2" are the one on ebay... has anybody ever used those and is that all that is needed to lift the truck? all i want is the 2" to level out the truck

and if anybody knows exactly what is involved in installing them it would be a big help

Warrior lift shackles. i run them in addition to my 4" lift kit and they've been great, no problems.

Ford Explorer and Superduty Lift Shackles - www.jackit.com - The Suspension Experts


i installed them after i had my 4" in for a bit; i ended up having to disconnect the track bar to be able to get them on, but i just put the truck on a lift, and supported the axle with a jack i could move up or down, and i did it with no help.

shackle lift

Ebay, Sanderson Welding has a 2 1/2", nice heavy duty shackle. Have them on my 03 w/ 3" tuff country add-a-leaf. my truck sat what seemed a little low for a superduty (some sit higher than others) and very level, so, it was a good combo. Have 275/60/20 Bridgestone Dueler Revo's
