Shackle extension
Good afternoon Fella's
Does anybody know where I can buy a set of 4 F-250 shackle's that are one - two inches (max) longer than OE? I've got a minor tire rub at right and left steering lock position. Definetly don't want a lift kit, just a bit more clearance Clarence. Thanks, hope everybody's having a good Monday if there is such a thing.

I saw a kid with some 2X4 lift blocks under his truck. Have you guy's seen anthing like that? Maybe I should buddy up to the guys framing the condo a couple of blocks up from me. Why would he use 2X4's when he could have used 2X6 with almost the same out of pocket?

Please tell me your kidding.....especially when he could have stacked them and gotten 8 inches of lift!
Seriously, if it is a minor rubbing issue, have you checked all the front bushings?

I haven't checked but good idea. I will take a guess that they need to be R&R'd. I've haven't gotten into any front end stuff with this honey beside shocks. Do I need a press?
Or.......... To hell with the 2X material, how about the end cut of a garage door header for 12"
