I finally installed the Rpg drop shackles that were sitting around. It leveled out the truck nice and improved the ride quality. Figured I would post if anyone is on the fence like I was about getting them.

I used drops also but it didnt level mine out. Looks factory though.

Geisers on low/deavers +3 w/camburg drops.

Idk rides good either way lol

Took it on a 10 hour drive and it rewarded me with a mystery fluid. All I can think of is the topped off power steering fluid somehow made it down here.
Oil is fine and this doesn’t look red enough to be trans fluid.

Looks like very used ATF.... front pump seal maybe?
Trans was drained and filled about 5k miles ago. It almost matches what’s in my power steering reservoir. Slight pink and odorless.

There was a few times during the drive I had to push the pedal down further than I’d ever like to.

LV fluid looks dark after short use. cut and past from ford:
21138 AUTO TRANS - MERCON LV FLUID COLOR
SOME 2008-2010 VEHICLES, EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FACTORY FILLED WITH MERCON LV FLUID (PART # XT-10-QLV), MAY EXHIBIT DARK COLORED TRANS FLUID THAT MAY LOOK BURNT IN APPEARANCE. THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS FLUID AND WILL NOT AFFECT TRANSMISSION FUNCTION OR DURABILITY. THE MERCON LV FLUID IS A DEEP RED COLOR, COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL MERCON V BRIGHT RED FLUID, AND THE COLOR NATURALLY DARKENS AT RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE. IN SOME CASES, THE FLUID MAY APPEAR TO HAVE A GREEN TINT DUE TO DYE USED TO CHECK FOR LEAKS AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT. TRANS FLUID COLOR SHOULD NOT BE USED AS SOLE INDICATOR FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS. REFER TO THE CORRECT VEHICLE AND MODEL YEAR WORKSHOP MANUAL AND/OR MAINTENANCE GUIDE FOR DIAGNOSTICS, REPAIRS, AND/OR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE.
