I have an 05' F-150 XLT Supercrew and i was thinking of putting some rear shackles on it to lower the back end, would that work?

 

sure will

 

alright man thanks. just wanted to be sure.

 

Several different companies offer them, check Summit Racing, they offer several of those available including their own. I'll probably do this mod to mine also.

 

Many here have safely done a 2" drop shackle.

 

oh ok ill check. yeah i just dont like that slanted stock look anymore! Are the shackles pretty easy to install yourself?

 

Pretty easy with the right tools. Jack up the truck just enough to take the weight off the leafs, put jackstands under the truck for safety, and remove/replace the shackles. Just make sure the leafs are not under any load and it's a piece of cake.

 

X2. I did mine in 35 minutes for both.

 

oh ok i see thanks guys!
