Has anyone installed the Poly Performance rear lowering shackles on a Raptor? There web site says 1 3/4" drop from stock. Any one.

Have not, but the National Springs Standard duty set will drop the back down about 1" and the ride makes stock feel very sub par.

Was wondering the same thing, figure 150 bucks is better then 1400 bucks right now. I know you get what you pay for but this seems like a good solution for now. These are supposed to give you more travel as well as drop the truck. This just seems to be better then moving the perch on the front.

You're not going to gain any total travel from them. You're going to lose bump travel and gain droop travel. I thought about it, but the idea of losing any up-travel in my suspension pushed me away from it.

thanks for the info.

I should add, that for a street-going raptor, other than pinion angle, which I don't think would be affected as your lift blocks set that. You'd be good to go.

Someone may chime in who knows more than me though.

I do know that Conejoracer used a slightly smaller lift block to achieve the same thing.

here's that thread http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f9/lowering-rear-10618/

They make these for the regular F150. I believe they will work, but look fairly light if you are off roading ..
