Howdy, I was looking into getting a pair of greasable shackle kits for my 89 toyota pickup 4cyl 2gen bodystyle, the site says 79-88 pickup and 89 4runner, does anyone know if they will fit?

Also, I would like to get about 2 more inches of lift out of the rear so would a 5", 5.5",6" do that for me?

Thanks everyone

An 89 pickup is a 3rd gen truck. The one with the more curvy body.
A second gen has the more boxy styling.
So, what do you have?

I bought longer shackles to get the "butt sag" out of my '88 4Runner. The guy at Marlin Crawler said every inch of shackle, longer than stock, will give a half inch of lift. I don't remember the length I bought, but it was one inch longer than stock and I got a half inch lift. The truck looks and rides just fine now.
So, I'd say measure your current shackle length and do the above figuring for your desired results.

I don't believe they will fit. There is a page on 4x4wire that lists the different leaf springs, check there

to my knowledge they wont fit. there is a difference between an 84-88 and an 89-95 pickup shackles. I will see If I can get some photos for you.

quoted from TG site:

"Narrow rear shackles fit 79-88 Pickups and 84-89 4Runners. Wide rear shackles fit 89-95 Pickups."


so im guessin its the spring hanger width thats the difference between teh 2??
