2inch rear drop shackles w/ Vossen rims and Michelin defenders 305/45r22

What shackles did you use? Did you use any pinion shims?

Did it create any vibrations?

 

[diambo4life]

No. I have no vibrations. 1.5" shackles and removed blocks fyi.

I think the shackles were belltech. I had a local shop do them. They also had to cut a support rail for the bed to clear room for the shackle. I attached a couple pictures. No shims used and no vibrations but the ride quality is sacrificed a little, and I do mean a little.

I used 1.5 ford performance shackles but only got 1 inch drop in rear. No vibrations at all.

I am looking into getting leveling coil-overs set up for my truck with 3.0L Powerstroke and do wheels with AT tires. Apparently it's trickier due to diesel engine - from my understanding, it requires higher spring rate because it's a heavier engine.

Well known local truck shop said it's a bit of a guessing game because diesel F150 are not as popular.

Any advice? I was looking at Fox / Kings / Icons. Not looking to do pucks.

@motivology figure out what your corner weight is. That would be a start on figuring out what spring rate you need.

If you go with snap ring coilovers that re-use your factory springs that’ll probably give you the most accurate lift

How do I figure that out? A member commented on a different thread I started stated this… is that what you’re talking about? If you scroll up a couple posts, you’ll see my specs.

Snap ring coilovers… never heard of this, what exactly is that? Do you have a link to that?

requires that you disassemble and re-use your factory springs and top hats but that also makes this option very affordable

I appreciate you. I am debating if I want to do reservoirs or not.

Funny you should ask. Just finished installing an Eibach Pro Truck Stage 2R. I love the stance and the ride is noticably better than stock. Now for some new shoes.

Looks amazing. What setting did you put your front coils to? Did you increase it more than it came from the factory?

I'm still adjusted to the Eibach factory setting. Looking for wheels and tires now. I may adjust after. We will see how she sits.
