Looking for factory ch*vy shackles info

[Headhoncho]

I saw a thread a while back where somebody posed a link to either factory ch*vy spring shackles or an aftermarket equivalent. They look just like ours and will add about an inch lift. I've seen the lowering shackles on ebay and prefer not to use them (look cheap). Looking to purchase a pair.

the stock ones i picked off an 88-98, but i've heard 73-88 are also the same.

I wouldn't mind using a clean used set but all the ones I've seen in the junkyard were pretty beat.

I got mine for free from a local shop that installs a fair amount of lowering kits (they toss the stock ones in favor of longer ones). I have a pic up someplace of them sided by side with our stock ones.
I eventually had to swap them out after about 4 years, took quite the beating up front and were starting to tweak side to side.

These guys make bulletproof stuff. You can see what I did w/ there shackles in my build thread.

These are the ones I will use if I need a little to level it out if I decide to build a new front bumper.

dorman makes factory replacements. Your local auto parts probably has them in stock if you live in the rust belt.

Dorman p/n 722-006 Advanced has them for $24.99ea. All others I called were twice that.
