2" Rear Drop shackels

Hey everyone! Just purchased a set of 2" rear drop shackels for my 04 F150 2wd! I was wandering if anyone had these on their truck? Is this a job I can just do in my driveway with a floor jack or is their anything else I may need to accomplish this job myself? Here's a link to the one's I bought from stlyintrucks!http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts.as...&partid=478348

A floor jack, jack stands and about an hour is all you need. You may need an impact or a pull bar to get a couple bolts loose ....

Thanks! I didn't think the job would be too hard for me to accomplish! Does the handling or ride quality change any?

Yes, it's really simple to do with hand tools also.

steps on bumps just a little harder, but overall ride and handling are better, btw, take a look at the bod floor seams when you set the truck down off the jack, the shackles hit the bed floors seams on mine and i had to fold em over with a hammer...
