Rear leaf shackles

Rich77 · Apr 21, 2020

I’ve got a ‘77 C10. I have the bed off and I’m rebuilding everything from the cab back right now. I have new standard leaf springs and shocks.
Is there anyone who sells adjustable stock height to 1” or 2” drop shackles?
I may want to keep it stock height or slightly drop it.
Can you drop 1”-2” with stock shocks?

TIA

Yes, there are several companies out there.
The shackles are longer and usually have 3 holes to adjust the height.
Only thing to keep in mind is the bed cross brace may hit the top of the shackle.
Some need to notch the bed support rail to fit them.

Thanks!

I’ve seen the shackles that are made for 1” or 2” drop. I just don’t know if you can also use them as stock height...
