CEThomas Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I thought I had seen where someone was using rear shackles off a GM truck that were around the size of 1.5" drop shackle to get a little lift? Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 They are 2" drop shackles from the chevy fullsize truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 summit has a set with two holes real cheap. Added about an inch to rear of my junk. You'll need some washers, as they're just a little too big for the MJ spring. They were cheap, and they're beefy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think stock Chevy shackles are about .25" shorter eye-to-eye stock than MJ shackles. I've got a set in the garage that I can measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I used them for a while!! Coincidentally, I just mounted mine to my fathers XJ today!! they are almost 5" eye to eye. So should give him about an inch of extra lift. they won't lift a MJ at all. But they are beefier and a good UPGRADE on that point alone!!

comancheman Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 do the chevy shackles need alot of washers or will one on each side of the spring do the job. I'm thinkin about using these but not if I'm gonna have to rig them on. also on my friends old yota he put on lift shackles and it pushed his axle forward a good ways. is it going to look funny if i use a shackle lift?

pingpong Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 You might have to add a washer to the inside of it. It will rotate your pinion a LIL, and move your axle forward some in the wheel well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
