bolt in lowering shackles
I had tried these shackles http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...er=204654_0_0_
awhile ago and took them back because the were about a half an inch to narrow and wouldnt fit without severe force. What are you guys using that bolt RIGHT IN? |

Re: bolt in lowering shackles

Re: bolt in lowering shackles
Those are probably 88-up. Just get the right ones.

I was also wondering if it being a "heavy half" ton would habe anything to do with it. Would I have wider springs or are there just more of them? |

Re: bolt in lowering shackles
Heavy Half or not, the rear springs were all the same width, 2.5 inches. Probably just cheap shackles.
