rear shackle
is it posible for me to use shackle from marlin or trail gear on my stock rear suspension? I understand my factory shackle measures (upper=18mm)(lower=14) but the lower also has a metal sleeve from what i under stand so it is 18mm with out sleeve ...so can I use one of there shackles and bushings with out any mods

As long as its for your model truck, yeah you run shackles from anyone that makes em for your rig. Lift shackles are made to go directly in place of your stock shackles with your stock springs

marlin sells the offset shackles. they have a little metal thing that makes it work (you'll see when you get it in the mail) The max length marlin (and most other places) sell normally around 3.5" longer than stock, if i remember right, which will give you about 1.75" of lift

I have the Marlin shackles on my 90 truck. I had to cut the outer metal sleeve of the bushing out of the rear spring eye for the new bushings to fit.
I have the 6.5 inch long shackle which give 1.5 inches of lift over stock.
I would recommend them.
