any luck on removing the rear blocks yet?

 

Yeah Built, ill agree with ya! Coobies, no i havent started that yet, but i do plan to and right when i do i will post pictures!

 

ok, thanks!

 

I am mainly getting to other things that i need during the winter like a gryphon tuner and tune, then toward the end ill look toward lowering the rear and getting my 20s, and a little body work and probably a paint job!

 

ahhh, well i guess i'll be ahead of you on lowerin then, i plan to do it as soon as my truck comes out of the body shop which is hopefully in a few days.

 

I need to lower mine...(see sig)... ill keep checking back on this thread

oh and

 

i'll post some up when i go about doing this.

 

So i figured it out today the only thing i will need for my 99 4x4 to drop the rear in place of the 2 inch block removal is these shackles. And the shocks are going to get me the smoother ride. I was looking at them on the internet, then i called to talk to a tech at stylintrucks.com and he asked me the make and model. I told him and he brought me right to this item so ill take his word for it. I will probably get on this sooner than expected because its only $100. Thought it just might cost more but i guess not.

These parts will fit on any 97-03 v8 models.

 

are those u bolts the 2wd ones?

 

Thats what i am hoping, i will have to call back on that one, because the threads probaby wont go down far enough for us to be able to tighten it all the way, so i am thinking the 2wd ones will work. What do you think?

 

i've been told to get the 2wd u-bolts if we take out the block, cant tell you much more as thats just from what i've heard.

 

that has to be correct because, Ford as wierd as they are, probably wouldnt change any styling of a simple u bolt, but to make up for the blocks never being there, that has to be correct. I will call stylintrucks again and ask them if those are specifically for 2wd trucks, then you will know! LOL

**Merry Christmas by the way guys!!**
