You can get cheap shackles at Autozone or ORielly; or get Warrior shackles at your local 4Wheelparts store.
 






The autozone shackles aren't bad, I have them on now. I used a bolt for the center support, no problems to report.
 












does every autozone carry these? anone have a part number, i caled an autozone and they had no clue what i was talking about...

also, how much did they lift the truck?
 












went to autozone today and found them, $13 for the whole kit. not bad! i installed them and cranked the torsion bars up. then i went muddin, i really kept up with my brothers 01 dodge ram with 10 inch lift and 36s, he didnt go anywhere that i didnt follow. o one got stuck and didnt brake anything either.

nowe to get a add a leaf and some 33x10.50s
 






Warrior Shackles! ;)
 






I just installed the autozone shackles, and had the thread on one of the bolts that came with them strip out without even getting close to the correct torque. Do I have to say I don't trust these things? I'm heading to the local 4wheelparts tomorrow to pick up some warriors.
 






i used my stock bolts in mine. the bolts that came with the shackels wasnt thick enough to fill the spring bushing.
 






I also used the stock bolts. I have had them on 3 vehicles that have been wheeled pretty hard and never had any problems.
