How did you lower the front? I'm going to get 2wd u bolts, I installed the shackles and it does not look that much of a diffrence, picture in public album.
i think he has 2wd springs and struts
Let me take some more pics. give me about 10 min.

Removing the blocks is a lot easier to do than installing shackles and cheaper. Get your self a set of 2wd u-bolts to replace the 4x4 bolts you have now, the threads are not long enough after the blocks come out, get the standard duty ones, the heavy duty won't fit.

You need to order 4, they are sold one to a box.
There are several reasons to lower a 4x4, such as maybe the owner or their spouse is short and it's easier to get in, or the owner is older and is tired of having to climb in their truck, or just because it looks better.
Afterall 95% of all 4x4's are street queens anyway, so why dump 3 large or more on a lift and wheels and tires just for kicks, frankly thats just idiotic. I bought the FX4 model because I liked the interior better than the XLT, and you can't get a flow thru console in an XLT. In the end its my truck and I'll do what I want, when you start making the payments for me then you can tell what to do with it.

Of course it's your truck, and I have no intention of making your payments. My question was not a personal attack. If it had been a personal attack it would have sounded a little more like this:
"What kind of moron would lower a 4x4?"
But I didn't say that, because I wasn't thinking that. Seems to me though, that's what you heard.
It was a legitimate question; "What is the purpose for lowering the truck?" Perhaps I should have asked, "If you wanted the stance of a 4x2 then why not get a 4x2?" Since you and others like you have a 4x4 I was curious as to why one would lower it.

In the end I had to take 4WD and the 20" wheels, and did not get the navigation I wanted. There are not many opportunities to go off road around here, so my truck is limited to a life as a street queen. The reason I spent the money to lower it is because of the pain in my back and hip, and I've had 0 pain since I lowered it.
I sort of wish I had seen a thread like this before leveling my 4x4. Now that I'm leveled, my stock 32" tires look too small. I would have been better off dropping the rear and sticking with the stock tire size. Air bags can level the truck with a load. I don't need the ground clearance of larger tires, so what's the harm in dropping the rear? I miss the point about getting a 4x2 when you need 4x4? If folks are getting 4x4s just for the stance and have no need for a 4x4, that's just... well let me say, I don't get it.
