Rear leaf shackles

[chebbyfan]

I am replacing the rear springs on my Sport, and there are drop shackles on it. I want to go back to the original height shackles, but there are so many options available. How do I know which ones to get? Its just a stock 90 Sport short box.

This might help - FWIU 88 - 98 trucks take these.

I recently installed these. All heavy duty u-bolts, impressive kit!

Chevy/GMC C/K Series Complete Rear Leaf Spring Assembly Kit **SHIPPING COST FOR LEAF SPRINGS ONLY**

Btw- that ^^^ kit is a heavy duty 3/4 ton kit. They also have the 1/2 ton 3/1 leaf springs. I’d call to see if he’d sell kit with the 1/2 ton if that’s what your looking for. I spoke with them, family owned business and super nice people!

Rock Auto should list what you need. Pretty sure for the 4x4 trucks they are all the same I assumed 2x4 were as well

RockAuto is great. But not always. Price for 2 -4/1 2025 lb. leafs is $378.00. The kit I listed above from ATS is $345.00 and you get same 4/1 2025 lb. leafs. Also:

Yes, and freight is high too.

Yes, and freight is high too.

For RockAuto?

For RockAuto?

Yep, when I bought my springs, I think, Rock Auto shipping was about $50 more than SD Truck Springs. Bottom line I got them cheaper at SD

 

[PlayingWithTBI]

I may have gotten that backwards - the springs and hardware were cheaper at SD to offset the shipping costs, I don't remember for sure.

Either way, one needs to shop around and look at shipping and tax too
