rear 2" lowering shackle needed?

Well the bottom bolt is just a 13/16 and it has a factory holding nut on it. Just make sure you are Turing it counterclockwise to loosen. The top is 15/16 on the nut. And you have to hold the bolt end with a 13/16" wrench. I used a 1/2" watched and breaker bar. They are torqued very tight from ford.

Lol yeah I know how to losen and tighten.... Having trouble breaking them loose, truck was a northern truck for about 9k miles so everything is a little rusty.

I sprayed mine with pb prior and they came loose with a 2 ft breaker bar. Also it's real easy to turn them wrong way because top bolts are backwards.

The top bolts are reverse thread??

No they just come through from the backside of the shackle so you have to hold the bolt with a wrench and loosen the nut on the outside. I did mine on the lift so I had a little more leverage.
