ok so I have a BJ spacer up front and my t-bars are tweaked so Im sitting at 15" fender to rim and I have an add-a-leaf in the rear and my rear is still sagging and I was wondering what the best/cheapest way to get it close to level I was thinking a shackle has anyone run the shackle from pep boys its 5/16" x 1.5" with holes at 4", 6", 8" (center bolt hole to center bolt hole)

 

no but how much are these cause now i wanna go and take a look and if you have a part number to thanks man

 

some people run jeep coils in the rear (cheap) there is a thread in here somewhere

 

there $14.99 and sorry no part number

auto zone has them as well for $13.99

The AutoZone shackle doesn't look offset or dependable, seeing as you intend on taking this pickup on the highway.

The greaseable shackles that I have on eBay are just what you need. I didn't bother installing them and after having them around for too long, I'm offering them up to the highest bidder.

and what will that do ?

 

it will lift the rear

 

Thats hooded out IMHO

 

but I already have a add-a-leaf will it still give me more on top of that?

 

i would'nt do it but i run 33x10.50 w/ all stock rear susp. and it very rarely rubs

 

Im runnin 33x9.50 and dont rub any but my rear is still saggy and I I want it to sit level so it looks proper

 

I most likely wont do it cuz I want to get travel out of my rear and that will limit it worst I would like to just do a 63" chevy swap but I lack the welder to do so. so if any body in Colorado springs has a welder and would help me please I would appreciate it thanks!

 

hey "norcalsvx" I noticed in your thread about your truck you have a one piece drive shaft compared to the stock 2 piece how does that work does it change any thing or is it just something you did?

 

it works fine and it is a lot lighter than the 2 piece, i had it made at a local driveshaft shop because my old one was shot-

63 chevies would be the way to go if you can find a welder-

 

I'm in the same boat, I'll probably just get some cheap shackles.

 

Shackes are cheap, and easy, and are a 1 hour job, if you don't have too much rust.

The coil spring mod is okay, but not my thing. They seem to work well, but I've heard they limit flex.

Best bet would be to ditch the AAL's, and put the truck on the ground. Figure out how many inches you need to go up to get the rear to match the front. Then double that number, and buy shackles of that length. So, if you need to go up 2 inches, you need a 4" shackle.

This will give you the best performance for the least money.

 

What does that mean? Pardon a guy who doesn't follow slang.

 

hooded out means that it is ghetto (cheap/weak/lame)

 

Oh. So gangster speak then. You kids.
