I recently purchase a factory SVT lowering kit off e-bay for 50 bucks that included two svt front coils and two rear shackels. The guy advertised it would drop my rear 2 inches and front an inch to level the truck out. Well I quickly looked at shackels on the truck and compared the svt ones and they are the same thing. how will this give me a 2 inch drop. The front coils have a red SVT tape on each coil so I assume the shackels are from the same truck. Guy had good feedback so I was wondering if anyone can advise. Thanks.

I have the same question. I know the Lightnings are already 2" lower in the rear than a regular F150 when stock and I had put 2" lowering shackles on my L to completely level it out. I still had the factory ones in the garage when I traded for a Screw. So, I thought "cool, I can put the original L shackes on my Screw and get the rear out of the air 2 inches for free". Nope, they are the exact same size. They must use different springs or something to lower the L's at the factory, instead of the shackles.

 

ok I also have a pair of lightning front springs what will this do for the front and wich/where should I get a drop shackel to level truck out after I put the svt springs in front.

 

Sorry, can't help with the springs, I assume they would drop the front, but I also assumed the shackles were different! I got my shackles at LFP but lots of people carry them, here's a link.
