Rear leveling
 

I have a '06 F150 2wd regular cab short bed, and the rake looks bad on my short truck. I have seen all the leveling kit for lifting the front. I was wandering about lowering the rear to get it level. I have heard about the shackles, but is that all there are? What would a new generation F150 look like with this done, any pics?

Shackles are the cheapest way to drop the rear, you can also buy dearched leaf springs,and belltech has a monoleaf rear spring that will give about a 3" drop.

If you are thinking the spring route, the dearched ones are a better option, they don't reduce your load capacity as much as the monoleafs do.

I have never heard of dearched leaf springs.

Ground Force drop shackles. They have 2 positions and come with the pinion angle correction shims. Easy to install and cost around $100. Easy to put back to stock if you want to.

Any reputable (sp?) spring shop can do it, they just take some of the arch out of the factory springs flattening them out and lowering the rear. You can also buy them already dearched from Roush, but they are not cheap.

Shackles w/ shims about $100
Belltech monoleafs about $300-$350 pair
Roush springs about $700 pair
dearched factory springs ???

I was reading "dearched" wrong. :o Now I know what they are. I think I would just go with the shackles from ground force. Thanks.

Does anybody have pics with it done to their truck?

I had my 2" drop installed last week. I'll have pictures of it installed this weekend.
