lift shackle

[chunkswood]

i am thinkig about putting shackles on the front of 91 gw. i dont want anything over 1 inch lift. what would be the best ones to use? should i buy a set from bjs off road or are there some that will work from another vechical that i can pick up cheap?

Either BJs shackles will work (thats what Im using) or pick up some rear chevy lowering shackles and put them on the front of the rig.

I am using the 4" long UDSR shackles from diy4x.com, they are total beef!

I was planning to use the stock chevy rear shackles but they just looked so thin, I knew I was going to bend the crap out of them.

I don't think you need lowering shackles from a chevy because I was going to use the stock ones and they would have give about 1" of lift.

stock shackles from an 88-98 chev p/u (and supposedly 73-87, too) work great up front for a little boost. they are not any weaker then the stock units.

Just remember that for every inch longer your shackles are it is only half an inch of lift.

I have rear shackles off of 90 chevy on mine if you want them.You will only get about 1/2 in. lift.(BJ's shackles should be here soon)

Keep in mind that longer shackles will affect your caster and u-joint angles.
