Default Lowering shackles

Does anyone know if the shackles are the same from a 19 F150 2wd as a 25 F150 2wd? Im looking for the 1in drop.

2WD and 4WD should be identical as well. The rear height difference between 2WD and 4WD is made up by a block between the leaf springs and the axle tube rather than different shackles.

Front is simply a shorter shock in the front coilover assembly. Hence why you can get a nearly free lift on a 2WD by installing 4WD struts and vice versa.

I have a set I'd sell at half price, new in box never used. I ended up just pulling the blocks out.

PM me if your interested.

Has any used the Ford lowering kit for the rear? According to Ford it drops the rear inch and half. Any problems and are they worth the cost?

If you are 4wd just pulling the blocks out gives you a 1 1/4 drop in the rear.
