1) what year truck? 2009
2) 2wd or 4wd? 4wd
3) how low do you want to go? Level with the front (2" shackles?)
4) budget you want to be in? Roughly $70-80?
5) belltech or djm item or both doesn't matter. Doesnt matter
I'm interested in lowering my Shortbed Fx4; need to buy the shackles and im trying to figure out which shims to get. It seems like 2.5 or 2 degrees seem to be the way to go? Any way to know before actually installing the new shackles? How does ordering through here work? Thanks

Have you measured the truck from ground to fenderlip? usually i do the 3 inch rear kit with block removal along with the belltech shim and good to go.
i do everything thru paypal but like going thru each order with the customer so we can dial it in

Fender distance from ground is 37" in the front and 39.5" in the back. Sounds like 2" will be the way to go because I'd rather have the rear a little bit higher than a little bit lower than the front. I also brought home an angle gauge from work tonight so I'll be able to measure driveline angles if that would help. From what ive read it seems like I can just measure the angle of the driveshaft, since I have the shortbed?
Thanks for the help.

I have a Belltech PN 6442 5.5" rear flip kit on a 2012 F150 Crew Cab with 5.0. I would like to raise the rear by possibly going to a Belltech PN 6444 4" rear flip kit. The two kits look similar so is it possible to just purchase the spring hanger brackets from kit PN 6444 and use with the stock shackles and remainder of the 6442 kit? Is the spring hanger used at the rear of the spring or at the front? Thank you.
