Hey guys,

I'm looking for a set of Warrior 153s for my Ex.
If anyone has a set of new or used ones, just PM me or post.

Thanks!

Just go down to your local auto parts store and buy some, to me they are about the same strengthness. Just put a bolt in the middle and paint them or leave them silver, either way they work great!

There is no way the typical cheap generic shackles from the auto parts store is anywhere as strong as a Warrior 153 shackle.

The metal of the Warrior shackle is much thicker and the cross brace on the warrior shackle is very beefy.

Here are a couple pics from a post on here where the generica "Autozone" shackles were used.

You can see how thin that metal is. Now if this is just a Daily driver that is babied it may hold up just fine. If its taken off-road driven hard I'd expect those shackles to flex and bend some over time...

Back to the orig. question... Amazon sells the Warrior Shackles.

Here is the link to one BUT the picture on the page is wrong but it is the correct shackle. Of course, I've never tried to order from amazon.com and ship it to canada..

Partsource told me they don't have them.
That's odd, I'll try again.

And, I agree about the generic autozone shackles. I think I'd break it taking a corner..

 

[Sogsnakebite]

ive ordered 4 or 5 sets thru them now all for Explorers 2 day turn around

 

[DjDom]

How much were they at PartSource?

[SwaintaN]

The 151 is for f-250 front leaves and from what I "see" its a different mount style. The war-153 is for 2.5" wide springs (normal H design) is is 8.5" eye to eye.

I'm thinking they are 153's which would be good for the OP, and shipping isn't bad.. They fit in a Flat rate envelope/box which really helps getting parts to Canada.

yeah what i bought was for a small lift in the rear, they were longer then the stock.

Hmm, depends on shipping.

What would it be to Toronto?

 

[SwaintaN]

pm me exact addy and ill get exact shipping.

 

[SwaintaN]

wow it would be 41.00 to ship to Canada even in flat rate boxing

 

[jprentice94]

Make some i had metal laying around but im sure it would only cost about 20 buck to have the metal cut in pieces from a metal shop i didnt add a center section but they are 1/2 inch steel so they are plenty strong but you can even add a bolt in the middle to strenglthen it

Yeah, shipping up here kills. Lol.

I'd make them, but I don't have any experience with welding or this stuff. And I don't know any metal shops..

 

[jprentice94]

No need to weld just drill some holes theres gotta be a place like all metals or. Even a fab shop i used the rule each inch of shackle over stock is 1/2 inch lift. I can go out and take some measurments later but it is pretty simple the hardest part for us was cutting through it as it maxed our plasma
