1/2" thick x 1.5" wide flat bar.
or you can buy some drop shackles like Nick said.....
you WANT lowering shackles because they are LONGER to lower the vehicle with the frame hangers in the correct position. When you flip the hanger they become lift shackles.
See how easy that works?

i just orders so 2" lowering shackles off some random website. There 3" wide for a 66-81 ford f250 or 350, but i had to buy them cause i could find ones for f150 that were 3" wide, so i need as much lift in the back so i dont have to run any block, im just going to make rear sky hangers. that fit the ones i bought.
