Do i need cam bolts? Should I get drop shackles? I have 3 inch now on the stock 03 leafs. Can I use the 3 in drop shackles too or should I use the stock or get 2 inch?

Also do I have to do anything with the pinion angle with this kit? I did some searches and I think that you need to flip the spacer / washer or something, I did not really understand so if someone could clarify I appreciate it.
thanks

 

Use the stock shackles. The Roush leafs will give you the correct drop. More than likely adding drop shackles to the Roush springs will cause the rear to ride on the stops. If the Roush kit does not include end links you will need those front and rear. May also need pinion shims.

 

Lots of folks are running the Roush with 2" shackles. Shouldn't be a problem. Cam bolts should be in the kit.

I'll let you know. Mine is supposed to be here next week.

I had to flip the stock shim 180 when I installed shackles on my '03. Had a vibration at 25mph. Some remove the shim, some flip it. some leave it alone. Your mileage may very.

Cam bolts come with the kit as do new bump stops. It's a very complete kit. Dropped it basically 2/3 from stock (on an '04). With the stock shackles (which is what I still have) there is still a rake to the truck. I think a 2-3" drop shackle may make the rear sit lower than the front. I'm sure a 3" will. 1-2" drop shackle would make it level if that's the look you're going for.

Go to my website in my sig and you can see before and after pics if you go the the SVT Lightning page on the site.

 

I have a roush drop, i've had the roush drop w/ stock shackles, w/ aftermarket in the 1" hole, and in the 2" hole, where it currently is. PIcs in my gallery if u want to take a look

 

which pic is which?

 

Are there part numbers painted on the tops of the rears Roush leafs? If so, what numbers do you guys have?

Thanks,
Herb

 

I removed the shims and have 2" shackles with the Roush kit.

 

The boyd wheels pics are w/ 2in shackles, stock rims are w/ shackles but in the inch hole. I do believe. I cant remember exactly when i changed it, but i do know that everything there w/ the boyd rims is w/ the full2 inch shackle.

 

that looks perfect for what I am looking for. off to order 2 inch shackles
