need shackles to match 2"TT

[184baller]

im looking for shackles for 2' of lift . i hear that j**p ones will fit. is this true. i know warrior makes the but i was just looking for other options.

 

[184baller]

well Im just gonna go to NAPA

aparently i can just go to NAPA to get generic shackels, and i can just get a brace welded in some time down the road.

That is an option some people choose. But if you're going to weld in a brace, you might as well build them from scratch. The Napa ones are a little weak. Just get some 2" x 3/8" flat bar... and drill the holes 8.5" apart for about a 1.5" lift. Then weld some more flat bar between it. It will be 10x as beef as anything Napa has.

Crappy tire (canadian tire) has some generic shackles too. And although it says for chevy - the size, lenght and boltholes are exactly the same as the warrior shackles. They come with smaller bolts so you may want to slightly enlarge them if you want to re-use your stock bolts. They shackles feature three mounting "eyes". The first one will give you the 1-1/2-2" lift, the second will give you stock height and the 3rd will lower the ex. You can use some sort of bushing/pipe sandwiched between the stock mounting holes to reinforce. If your vehicle is mainly for street, then you should be fine with the shackles.

still cant get what I need

Ive called all around and found nothing. NAPA and CRAPY TIRE havent got a clue. for those who know you can get them were they on the shelf or trough the parts desk?

 

[184baller]

ok so

I went in to canadian tire and there they were on the shelf . so im gonna put them in soon . i dont think im really gonna notice the differance.

I have never seen them at a Napa but i know AutoZones has them on the shelf.

2" lift done

So its all done and it wenr really easy. Do you think 32s will fit?
And here is hows she looks...

I had TT/Shackles on mine with 32's and it rubbed pretty bad.

take off the plastic rocker, the lower part of the bumper, and trim some and 32's will fit. I had to max out the torsion bars to fit my 32.5's. Its doable but will rub, and require trimming.
