Default 2" drop shackles for 2016 F150 Lariat 4x2

I have been looking everywhere for 2" drop shackles for my 16' Lariat 4x2 5.0.

Any help with brands and links would be great!!

Also, pics of your rides with the 2" drop would be rad as well!

thanks in advance!

Also, is there anyway to get around cutting the bed? Warranty issue?

I got mine from Rough Country. It looks like they don't make any for the 2015's and up, at least not yet.

So...that will shorten the suspension travel (puts the bump stop 1", or 2" closer to the dif)

Do some people replace the bump stop with a shorter one? Or does this even work...not sure if the shock might hit first which wouldn't be good?

Do 2wd have a different bump stop than 4wd?

I got the crown ones (for $56 in 2015) and didn't notch the bed. They hit the bed every time I go over a speed bump quickly or a significant bump in the street. It doesn't happen often so I just leave it as is.
