Default 2018 F-150 4WD 3" lowering Shackles Unavailabe?le?

I would like to lower my rear by 3" to be level with the front (that was the difference I measured out). There are plenty of 1" and 2" lowering shackles for my truck, but I can't seem to find 3" shackles. The one 3" I found for my truck's specs was a brand named "Superior" or "Supreme". The one and only review said it didn't fit his 2018. Is there a 3" shackle or should I go with a 2" and call it a day.

If you have a 4x4, then remove the factory 1.25" block and install 2" shackles and you will be at your goal. I have never seen a 3" lowering shackle. Our beds have a cross-member/support beam that requires cutting into if you do some 2" shackles anyway.

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I have a 2018 King Ranch 4wd and would like to lower the rear end 2". I'm not a truck guy, and my local off wheel drive/truck store isn't much help.
Did you find a lowering shackle that did the trick for your 4WD?
Did you have to cut the cross member/support beam?
Thank you!

RWD and 4WD are the same shackle.
