Question Lowering Shackles

I am looking for info on lowering shackles for the HD F150. I know some of you guys have lowered the rear of your trucks and I want to know which kit you used, cost of the kit, likes/dislikes, handling pros/cons etc. and anything else you have to offer.
Thanks,
Rich

Used brand name (can't remember name)on mine a long time ago. Makes it look hugely better. It also improved handling as well, as the sprung weight is now lower by 2 inches. Any brand name should be fine. I paid $100.00 Canadian installed. Do it!

Hey I lowered my front and rear. In total the front is droped 3 1/3 inches and the back in total is 4 1/4 inches. I can't remember what I used either but It was almost exact to the So-Cal race shop drop kit for the F-150. You can read about it in Sport Truck March issue. It costed me also just over $1200 cdn. I was also able to keep my warranty, so do some negotiating with your dealer. I would have to say it looks awsome. You have to do it.
