Key features
- Rear leaf spring shackle kit
- Covers one leaf spring
- 2.5 in. wide
- 3 in. center hole to center hole spacing
Measuring Before You Fit
A shackle kit controls the spring’s length and angle at the rear of the vehicle, so the mounting holes must line up without forcing the parts. Measuring the spring’s existing shackle holes and the frame mount before the work starts prevents a mismatch that would stop the kit from seating.
Worn bushings and pins can allow the shackle to move and make a new kit wear quickly. Check these parts while the spring is accessible, and replace worn bushings during the same job. Recheck the fasteners after the first drives, since the new hardware can settle.
- Measure the existing shackle hole spacing
- Check the frame mount for wear
- Inspect bushings and pins at the same time
- Retorque fasteners after the first few drives
