I have a 2006 4x4 f-150. I put a 6" Fabtech lift on it with dirt logic coil overs in front and a 5" block in back to replace the factory block (not stacked blocks). My back end is about 1.5" lower than the front, and I would like to raise it an inch. I'm thinking lift shackles would be the cheapest and easiest way to get a little lift. Anybody have any part numbers or manufacturer names for me to check out? I don't really want an add-a-leaf. I only want an inch more lift in the back (I don't like rake).

 

got my shackles off ebay...70 bucks. same fabtech lift you have...works good. my coilovers are cranked just a touch and i sit about level. will go take a pic of the side and post for ya

 

driveway is a little off...but you get the idea

 

Who makes your shackles? That looks just like I want mine to.

 

no idea. i just searched lift shackles on ebay.. they are 1.5"...really easy install if you take the spare out first

 

I'll look around and see what I can find

 

Does anybody know who makes 1.5" shackles?

 

these are the ones i have.

2in. lift shackles

 

How much lift did you get out of your 2" shackles? I've read on here that they don't give you a full 2" of lift

 

chaz has a set on his f150, he's had them as long as i can remember so he'd be a good one to PM.

you installing yourself?

 

Yeah I'm going to put them on myself. I put on my 6" lift too

 

i'd say they didn't give me 2 inches but they did help some. i heard they wouldn't lift if as much as advertised too but you simply cannot make a shackle that lifts the truck more than these. ford put the shackles upside down so the shorter the shackle the more lift, but you can only make them so short. i added an add a leaf later on and its perfect now but my front end was sitting higher than yours compared to the back.

 

Yeah, the DJM 2" lift shackles on eBay give just about 1.5" of lift. They're easy to install and even easier if you drop the spare (but not necessary). Be sure to lube those urethane bushings or they'll squeak like crazy.

 

I only want about an inch more lift. Can you get less than 2" lift shackles?

 

Lifting the rear is really all about trial and error. Every truck will sit differently so give the 2" shackles a shot. I am sure they'll be perfect.
