Google Belltech 6400 shackles (excellent product & price), or go to the Autostore and actually ask them yourself. The Chevy will only have one P/N for 80-90's fullsize Chevy pickups.

looks good, glad to see someone else using those "lowering" shackles, i plan on using them on my BII, but I wasnt sure if they were any good

i think the sploder leaves will make it perfect
Umm...make sure you check your setup on your bII before you buy. I made the mistake of thinking the X shackles were the same, but they differ bigtime.

Wound up having to buy Warrior shackles for a jeep cj7 to accomplish this.


As for adding the explorer leafs, once those are on, you can also install the procomp add-a-leaf to get another 1 1/2 inches or so. Just a thought.

looks good does it ride rougher with the 150 springs and the shackles? hey hatman i was wondering if u had the same sway bar as mine. the one that goes thu the radius arm crossmember and if ur drive shaft is close to it. im think if i did what u did to mine the front drive shaft would hit.
