Default Question...

Im going to order the Fabtech 6" lift for my 01' F-150 this week and was wondering. The kit comes with blocks for the rear leafs, Im kinda iffy of huge blocks. Are there any drop shackles that I can use to just drop my stock leafs down? I think that would be a safer way to do it and retain the same ride.

Somthing like this maybe

I havent seen anything at any good online sites just on ebay. Any suggestions?

I know they make one for a chevy(I have one). It is called a shakle flip. Try contacting the people at DIY4X, It is not listed on their website but maybe they will be making one for ford soon.

If you do go with large blocks you have to get some kind of traction bar to prevent axel wrap.
