Installed Ground Force 2" shackle drop yesterday followed by RAS using a very tight black disc. Install went well, can't wait to tow with it. Height of the rear end was down a 1/4" from stock after everything was installed. Very happy with that!

Yes you can just remove the rear block and "level down" the truck if its 4x4. I had a shop do mine and was told it is very easy to do. To the OP nice looking truck. Turned out great!

I installed the Ford Racing (Ground Force) shackel kit in my RCSB 2wd truck when it was 1 day old. It caused the 15mph takeoff shudder to be much worse. I removed them 1 week later and the shudder is barely noticeable until weight it put in the bed. Can't believe Ford does not know putting any weight in the bed causes a driveline shudder in these trucks.

Tried with shims in and shims out. No difference. Shudder was much increased. Could be heard and felt at about 15-20 mph on acceleration and deceleration. Has to be the carrier bearing.
