Velvet ride shackles?

Velvet ride shackles?

Are the Velvet Ride Shackles or something similar still being made?

My 75 C10 rides extremely tough so I am looking for options.

Re: Velvet ride shackles?

Hmmm.... I've never heard of these things. Does anyone have any feedback on how they perform? How exactly do they work?

Google Velvet ride shackles and you will get some other forum hits. The HD truck owners seem to like them.

Helper air bags and removing some leafs can give you adjustable ride firmness.
