I'm also contemplating 2" drop shackles for the rear.

Question: Do you specify ones for a Lightning or would they be the same for all Ford 2WD reg cab flareside?

Any part #s for BellTeck/Eibach would be appreciated.

suggestion:

If you enjoy spirited driving/cornering, progressive rate springs (Eibachs) aren't the best IMHO. BTDT.

Ruslow, Hotchkis, Ground force.

Tips:

Perfect time to install anit-clunk washers and NAPA cam bolts.

Shackles are easy easy.

I just installed 2" shackles about a week ago, very easy and great results. I ordered mine from here for only $44 + shipping.

You gotta scroll down a little... part #6400BLT...

If you still can't find them, you don't need to try to install them yourself anyway!

I know it does not say 2002, but I think they are the same.
