i been recently debating weather to put a leveling kit or lowering shackles to level out my truck.
i was wondering if you folks could help me out a bit.
if i were to put a lowering shackle on my truck, will it affect the ride?
also i hear that it will affect driveline angle and it will vibrate.or sumting like that is that true?and is it bad??
and what shackle drop should i use to drop my 97 f-150?
i heard 2" maybe more?
thanks guys your help is really appreciated...

 

I have shackles and hangers done to acheve 4 total inches of drop in the rear. I have not had an issue with driveline angle, it ride just fine i love it. im thinking about going even lower now... haha. but 2" will do just fine to level it with no problems... and if you want to go lower i have 3" drop coils i may be willing to let go, and go with shackles and hangers...

 

i have 2 inch belltech lowering shackles on my '01. they look good and seem solid

 

thanks for the info and ur driveline seems to be straight coo i think thats what im gonna do.
i was thinking of putting the leveling kit in the front but seems to be nicer lowered and from what i hear the ride is the same..thanks agian!

 

i have belltech 2" lowering shackles on my 07 f-150 they are great really got the look i wanted and didnt really change the ride all that much

 

2" shackle will level out, make it ride a little softer feeling in the rear, but overall very good mod
