If you're looking to really enhance your ride's performance, these extended shackles are a solid choice. Designed primarily for Deaver leaf springs, they also play nice with stock springs, so you’ve got options. We’ve taken a step forward with the design, going for a fully boxed and sealed version—no more dimple dies to worry about. It’s all about durability and functionality here.
What’s cool about these shackles is that they’re longer than your stock ones, which means you’re getting maximum wheel travel. That’s crucial for those off-road adventures where you need your suspension to flex and soak up the bumps. Plus, we’ve equipped them with polyurethane bushings. This means less deflection during articulation compared to the stock shackles, and they pivot smoother too. You’ll notice the difference when you hit those rough trails.
Honestly, the stock shackles just don’t cut it—they’re too short and really hold back your droop. These extended versions are 1 inch longer for the Chevy Silverado and 1.5 inches longer for both the Ranger and F-150. Just keep in mind that going longer does lower your ride height a bit, so if you’re driving a Ford Ranger, you might need to cut a hole in the bed for clearance or grab an aftermarket drop hanger to bring everything back up to where you want it.
Now, let’s talk about the build quality. These shackles are laser cut from 4130 chromoly, which is tough stuff. They’re CNC formed and TIG welded, then bead blasted and finished off with a powder coat in Camburg steel gray. It’s not just about looks; this construction means they can take a beating and keep on performing.
