Which shackles do you prefer?
Or any others?
Just did the aal and the lift coil, and the back end still needs another 1" to 1 1/4". Looking for it on the cheap.
Which ever one is best where is the cheapest place to find them.

Warrior Shackles. desertrat.com. I actually bought mine through a local 4 wheel drive shop for 60.00 and went and picked them up from the Warrior Products warehouse.
 






copperhead will give you a solid 2" of lift, take a little work to get them in (had to use a hammer and vice to open up one end more :thumbdwn:), and you'll need new bolts or to drill out the shackles to use the stock ones. I drilled mine out and went though about 10 drill bits before I could get them all drilled out. These SOB's are STRONG.

warrior shackles around 1.5", I believe just bolts right up with no problem.

For you're situation I'd use the WAR153 Shackles since you don't need too much more lift. I needed as much lift as possible that's why I went with copperhead.

Do you have any pics of those shackles? I remember hearing about them a LONG time ago.
 












Warrior. I had never seen/heard of the Copperhead ones until now. But after seeing a picture of them... Warrior! :p:
 






Wait, wasnt there a Section525 shackle at some point with blinged out dimpled holes? :) I think JTSmith has a pair ...
