shackles

I bought a leveling kit that included torsion keys and lift shackles. The keys are working fine but the shackles are giving me issues. I contacted the seller and they informed me that I have them installed correctly, but the shackles rest on the frame. Another customer told me that’s how...

Hey I need cheap shackles for my 01 Sport. Any recommendations for new shackles or some shackles off another vehicle from a junkyard? Looking for a good 2 inch lift in the rear from the notorious sag, not gonna do anything crazy. Thanks.

Hi All- Wanted to post a follow up to a previous entry I did on shackle replacement and leveling up the front end here: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?threads/rusty-shackleford.462753/ After driving 1,000 miles I finally took it to Ford dealer to have alignment checked -...

1. ’98 EB SOHC where the back was sagging a bit and existing shackles looked bad. Warrior 153 shackles arrived. Jacked up rear – high-ish. Placed jack stands under frame just forward of front leaf spring mounts, both sides. Let pumpkin and wheels down. I’m using a block off wood...

Was wanting to order the Warrior shackles to give my Explorer a little bit of lift in the back end. The problem is is that I can't seem to find the bushings for sale anywhere. Not sure if my existing bushings are still good or not. I was wanting to just go ahead and replace all with new. I was...

Hello everybody, long time lurker here first time poster, so pardon me if I post this thread in the wrong forum area. Anyways, I've recently been considering removing my trailer hitch (class ii that I don't use for anything anyway) and installing some D-ring shackles inside of the holes in the...

So I'm new to the 2000 Explorer sport, so when I went to replace my rusted thru shackles I just went to my local Autozone to get a set. Put my truck up on a life I have access to, and went to work. Ended up cutting them out - no biggie - but then the real fun started. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS...

This is a my 00 XLT AWD 5.0. It was given to my by my great grandpa that moved to Southern Indiana from Cali a few years back. He bought the X brand new and when he gave it to me, it only had 59k miles. I've had it for around a year and a half now and have it up to 73k miles.

We had a lot of flooding in the Tampa Bay area this year (2015) and now all of my rear suspension is sqeaking and creaking to the point it's driving bonkers. The suspension in the rear is all original 2002 with 170K miles (except Rancho shocks). I found replacement shackles at the parts...

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and looking for a little help/advice/suggestions. I've got a 2000 ford explorer xlt - recently picked it up from an old lady with low miles and i love it but it squeaks a lot. I'm already considering changing the shocks for a smoother ride since it's quite...

I'm new to lifted trucks, so after reasearch I bought warrior 153 shackles to lift my sagging explorer. I have not had time to put them in yet but I scaled them up to the stock and I noticed, the stock barley clear the tow package hitch. Anyone know if they'll fit??? I also was wondering if...

So I have a 96 4 door 2wd XLT, I'm going to probably 2" TT in the front, and I am on a pretty tight budget. In the rear I'm debating between blocks and shackles. I know shackles are better, but also more expensive. I haven't done to much research on either one yet so any help would be...

I need new shackles for my 1997 limited and was looking to see if anyone would be interested in selling a set. I was looking on doing a TT lift so i would prefer to get a set of warrior or some other brand or custom made ones that will give the 2 inch lift.

well i decided to join after getting alot of helpful information from the forum as a guest. I have a 2000 Explorer sport 2wd with the infamous 4.0 SOHC. i just recently had to do the Timing Chain replace. and as a high school student that wasnt something i wanted to take financially but it was...

hey all, i was in the process of planning a small lift for my 03 ST. i didnt want to raise it too high because i dont want to ruin the original engineering of how it rides, not interested in a body lift either and i want to keep my mpg as close to where i have it as possible but i would like a...

Ive got a 96 Explorer v6 4wd, stock. I want to know whether its better to go with turning torsion keys and adding shackles in the rear, or adding an add-a-leaf? will one be a better ride than the other? whats cheaper? thanks, Corey

I have been looking for hours and cant find the best site. Im looking to get 2 inches of lift in the rear. Any combination of springs and schackles. If anything I need a link to a pair of shackles that will give me 2 inches of lift and stock leaf springs. Then a 2 inch torsion twist to the...

Ok, so I'm pretty new to the scene and I've got a couple questions but the main one is this. I seen a late 80's to early 90's bronco with the rear bumper wheel mount and thought it looked close and was wondering if it could convert to fit on the back of my 97 xlt 4wd. Any ideas? I couldn't get a...

Hey all, I Have a 99 Sport 2 door with the monoleaf. I wanted to do a small lift just for the look of clearance. I want to do the 2" TT and Shackles. Now my rear end on my ex sags about an inch due to the monoleaf. I looked at warrior 153's and there only an 1 1/4 inch lift? so im thinking...

Hey everyone, I have a few posts about my '92 Sport on here, so some may know that I just finished swapping out rear leafs from a '97 EB V8 into my Sport. While this made the ride much nicer and smoother, it actually lowered my rear end about 1". I have the means to make a set of shackles from...

I want to do the TT and warrior shackels lift to my explorer (2000 xlt) and I know it would be easier to get 31's, but I wanted to get 32's. So would there be any rubbing or cutting needed if i got 32's?

I'm sure there's a number of posts reguarding the many ways to do this. I want to know the BEST way, and how I can go abouts doing that. I've heard Shocks, Liftkits, Blocks... tons of different ways. I Beleive the simplest and easiest would be to install the towing shackles. My question is...
