mvusse Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Rear suspension of the GMC C6500 at work doesn't have shackles. One end of the spring is bolted, other end of the spring has no eye. It rests in a bracket and is allowed to slide in said bracket to allow for suspension flex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Maybe they decided a shackle would not be strong enough for the load capacity of the truck? GVWR is 25,600 pounds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
