warrior shackles

[crazyfoolreal]

I am going to use some f 150 spacers for the front coils to get about 2 inches and I am wondering how much and where i could find some warrior shackles for the back leaf springs.

Quite a few places have them. If you don't know the part numbers you can go with either WAR 153, or WAR 353. It's been talked about a million times here so searching should have been done first. 4wheelparts, rubicon4x4, desertrat.com all have them. Need to call the places since they aren't listed on the web sites. $40-50 + shipping

EBI, not to call you a liar but every time I've looked (or called) for pricing, it's more like $65 + shipping. Are you really finding those prices?

Yup I 2nd that mine were like 68 with shipping

I got my WAR 353s for $59 shipped. $49.00 plus shipping. I got mine through rubicon4x4.com. Everyone else claims they got theirs really cheap from 4wheelparts. Mine have the gold zinc coating.

These are the ones I got, the price and shipping have gone up though. I know I got them to my door for -$60. The 153's are also priced at $57 now I noticed. I got them about 6 months ago.

Edit: Sorry my quote was a little low on the estimate.

Here are mine though....

pretty

If you or someone you know can weld and work with steel, they are very easy to make, I found the dimensions here somewhere then made them a bit longer for a full 2" lift. Not as pretty as the warriors, but just as strong and made from small pieces laying around the shop at work(read free )
If not the warriors are still a good buy.

Ya, thats life in Ontario, they just love to put tons of salt on the roads, dosent take long for things to rust, and I drive alot of dirt roads.

I just installed A set of Warrior 153 shackles on my Sport. Not real happy! I got about one inch lift but I lost most of the arch in the mono spring and the ride is much stiffer. I'm worried what the springs are going to do when I put some weight on the back by pulling a trailer! I wonder if I'm damaging the spring by leaving it this way? Any ideas?

 

[dman726749]

get rid of the mono leaf and swap in a 4door leaf pack, you will be much happier

 

[Robb]

Yep, 4-door leaf packs should have been your first upgrade before longer shackles. In fact, when you asked about shackles with mono-leafs here about 11 days ago, ExplorerSportNu suggested to you to go with 4-door leaf packs. IMO, you do not want to run longer shackles with just a mono-leaf, you will only be contributing to sagging them even quicker.

Thanks guys! What year models of 4 door leafs will fit my 2000 Sport? How will the steel leafs affect the ride and how do you know if the springs you get from a salvage yard are any good? Are there that many wrecked 4D X's out there? I just bought this truck and like it a lot, but I just heard about the cam chain tensioner problem. If there are a lot of them in the salvage yards now I know why!

Your explorer can use any leaf springs from 91-01?

Can you find the dimensions to those shackles, or let me know where you found them. I would rather build them myself. Thanks.
