Hey everyone,

I'm pretty set on getting a pair of 2" shackles. My question is if my leaf springs are pretty much flat should I consider replacing them before installing shackles?

Any recommendations on shackles would be appreciated as well.

 

i know that your pretty set on shakles but if your leaf springs are worn out you can get a good set of add a leafs for like 86 bucks and it would raise you up like 2" in the rear but it would make your ride a bit stiffer but if you ever pull anything you'd be set

 

Is it hard to find replacement leaf springs?

 

no, lmctruck has them as well as other suspension places, the add a leaf is cheapest as a new set of springs will run you $300 easy plus shipping..

I had a broken leaf and got a set of ok ones from the yard, they're still kinda worn out but they work fine for me and all in cost me under $180 with new bushings and bolts....

 

If I get an add a leaf and install the fabtech shackles I already have the truck would look pretty raked, even with a Tbar crank right?

 

i found some SkyJacker add-a-leaf for $87 that will make up for sagging and lift it like 2"
