1) 93
2) 2wd
3) 3/4 ot 3/5
4) Cheapest I can find is 560 via eBay
5) doesn't matter

I'm looking to haul a motorcycle in the bed and plan on adding helper/air shocks in the rear instead of drop shocks. Would that work w/o notching the frame?

Would you recommend using air shocks on the rear or actual drop shocks on the rear?

Default Rear end lowering question

I would like to lower the rear of my 1997 F150 short bed flareside 2". I can get shackles from Summit but want to know if I'll need anything else. For example: Will I need to get shorter shocks? Will the cange in the drive shaft angle require any additions or modifications?

Thanks,
Larryz
