Default I need shackles for my 2000 Zr2

I am looking for 2" shackles for my 2000 Zr2 Blazer. I cant find them online listed specifically for the Zr2 alot of places say not for Zr2 or may fit Zr2 but thats no guarantee. I am planning on doing 2" shackles in the rear with a t-bar crank. If anyone knows where I can get them please let me know.

i am fairly certain the shackles are not different between the zr2's and non zr2's, i bought mine from a member on the forum, 3leaffab, but im not sure if he is still around.

$72 is for 2 of them. Shackles can only be used to lift the rear. You can do a T-bar crank to lift the front accordingly. Just search "T-bar lift" for a million topics about it.

I think it's only 1 shackle per spring they mount on the rear of the leaf spring

I've never done them myself but I know what your trying to say

I don't think you put a shackle on the front of the leaf spring and one on the rear of the leaf spring

Double check with the guys who have done them

Yeah just two shackles total, one for each spring. The front of the spring is fixed against the frame underneath the back seat. The rear of the spring is attached to the shackles which allow the spring to flatten out as the wheels flex
