Will these fit my '03???

Hi...I was tryin to buy some drop shackles and found some here:
http://truckperformance.com/products...TNING/sf4_2wd/

BUT they only show up for the 2001 years..If I look up parts for a 2003 Lightning then the shackles do not show up!! I thought these would go on any year L , but just makin sure..

Thanks.

This is what you will get if you buy them:







They are advertised to be 2" shackles but when you get them the box says 1-3". I just put a set on my L about a month ago and they fit perfectly. You can expect about 1 1/2" - 1 3/4" drop. I'm happy with the results but I like my truck to have a slight rake.

U have pics of your truck? I was thinking of going with JLP's 3" to even it out.

Sorry Falcon I don't have any photos right now. My truck is no where near even but that is the way I like it. If you want it evened out I would go with the JLP 4" shackles. They will get you much closer to your goal than the Belltechs. My truck is just filthy right now but if I get a chance I will get a couple of pics and post them for you.

Mine still looks like a 4x4 compared to yours. The stance of your truck is just awesome!
