I have a 08 fx4, I've done some searching and can't find my answer. I need a two inch lift in the back and I don't want to do blocks. Will the 6400 shackles work with a 08 ranger?

Might see if you can find some other vendors for lift shackles. I bent my Belltechs. They are probably fine for a street truck, but a good whack on a rock and they are toast.

Not to jack the thread, but I had a question regarding the Belltechs..


When you guys installed them, did you have to mess with the pinion angle at all?? Just wondering, as I was visualizing the lift it has on the truck, since you're pivoting off of the front spring eye bolt..

I ended up using the wedges that the box recommended for the lowering application. I just put the thicker side up front to even things back out.

Sweet, just what I was looking for, thanks!!! Did you just throw them in or did you use one of those angle measurement tools??

I drove it and had a horrible vibration so I ended up just putting them in. I'm still not sure my driveshaft angle is exactly right. I can't find a level place to check it....
