Default lower springs

I'm planning on lowering the rear end so the truck sits level... and was wondering if anyone here has done that... i was looking around a little and found these...

anyone use these before? or recommend a different brand?

I don't think that will work, you got to get a "flip kit"

http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2...ring/index.php check out this link . all you want to do is to replace you shackle brackets with longer ones to lower the rear end.

Go to Ebay Motors and type in "Roush F-150". Roush Overstock is selling these Nitemare lowering shackles for 75 bucks plus shipping. Got them on my truck and they worked great.
