KUAFU’s adjustable 2–3\" rear drop shackles are aimed at Ford F150 owners (model years 2004–2014) who want a controlled rear drop to level their truck, fit larger tires, or adjust stance for light off-road clearance. They best suit drivers with 3\" wide rear leaf springs who prefer a durable, low-maintenance solution and are comfortable with basic installation or working with a mechanic. If you need precise fitment for another spring width or model year, verify dimensions before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will these shackles fit my 2006 F150 4WD?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes—if your 2006 F150 has 3\" wide rear leaf springs and is within the 2004–2014 range, these shackles are compatible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do these include installation instructions?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No, the pair ships without instructions; basic tools and a service manual or online guide are recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"KUAFU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48082955501726,"sku":"B086D1639N","price":51.32,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/kuafu-f150-rear-shackles-front-view.jpg?v=1785820256","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/kuafu-adjustable-rear-drop-shackles-for-ford-f150-2004-2014-2-3-drop-matte-black-steel-with-polyurethane-bushings","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
