lift shackles- whose got them and where did you buy?
I have a 2.5 leveling kit on the front of my 05 F150 4x4 and I want to raise the back 1-2 inches and keep my ride quality good. I am thinking the easiest way would just put on some lift shackles. My questions are- whats a good cheap shackle to go with? And if you have them how do you like them?
Found some on eBay made by springtech that are 1.75 lift. Anyone have these?
And found some more exspensive ones on summit but doesn't say how much lift they give.

I'm running DJM shackles - got them from DJM for 59.99 plus the ride. I can't remember if they claimed 1.5" or 2", either way it raised it about an inch. With the HBS 2.5" it was nose high, and still is a bit, but I like the stance a lot.

Not bad at all, we used air tools so it went very easy. It took us about 3 hours, but that was with plenty of Crown Royal and bsing involved - so your time may vary. I'm still using stock shocks for now and haven't noticed a big difference in ride. I will be upgrading eventually, but it might be awhile as I have more important projects than the truck.

I am running a set of 2" lift shackles I got off ebay on top of my 4" Rancho lift. Im not sure how much extra they gave me, but I think it was supposed to be about an inch or so. had to do a smidge of bending to get them in but all said and done you could have them in in an hour easy.
