Best Manufactor of 1 lift shackle .... ?
What do you guys recommend brand wise for a 1 lift shackle on my Belltech 5.5 flip kit only one they offer for the 04-08. So 1 should get me more 4.5 range.

Maybe I'm wrong here, I understood what you meant, but I have not heard them called lift shackle. Technically it raises or lifts end of the leaf spring which caused the truck to drop, at least that's the way I thought they worked.
I assume you want to lower the truck? Ground Force also makes one that Ford Performance also puts their blessing on.

No it’s a lift shackle... they also have drop shackles that are more commonly used. Belltech is a 1” or 2” lift. I read they have probably the best bushing setup as the red ones by djm and crown tend to long last as long and/or they squeak pretty good if not greased every so often.

Hmmmm so I talked to belltech today. Either they didnt know what I wanted or they dont have any lift shackles for the F150s. Only the 0.5 one that comes with the 6440 flip kit is what the gal said.
Im still confused... in their kit parts diagram it shows the shackles 1-2 lift... explain that... ?
