Spring shackles

Hi guys, I tried searching and I can't find anything. I see all the lift shackles, but I just want stock sized replacements. Is the dealer the only one who has them? I finally found stock length leaf springs and I want to replaced the rusted up shackles at the same time.

Toyota sells a complete shackle kit. one for each side.

The price is not all that bad you get all the hardware and bushings.

I use them all the time

stock is a 3.5" shackle, eye to eye. if you need lift, it's 2" longer shackle for 1" lift height.

you're most likely going to pay through the nose if you go to dealer - definitely get a superior aftermarket shackle for less $, that has poly bushings and greasable pins. google will show several places to buy them.

Thanks, I didn't want a lift though. I was looking at my rusted one and when I hit it with a hammer it seems pretty solid, so I might soak it in some rust remover and see if I can reuse it.

you can definitely reuse them if still solidly intact. probably want new bushings though.

BudBuilt Shackles

4Crawler Shackles

Dave'z Shackles

you can also buy longer shackles and drill a new hole if you want them shorter - or even just buy new shackle bolts and drill some plate steel.
