Longer shackles for OME leaf springs?? (1 Viewer)

[CruiserTrash]

I have a shackle reversal up front and I’m trying to level the rake out, right now the back is much lower. Looking for longer shackles in the rear since I don’t want to add another leaf.

Is this a universal fit kind of thing or so I need specific shackles that work (width-wise)?

Anybody got a pair laying around they want to part with??

Just put bigger tires on the rear. Problem solved.

Found some shackles, but I’m missing two pins and have no idea what bushings will fit. Even though so loathe 4 Wheel Parts I might go in and have one of their desk bros bring me an endless stream of bushing until I find something that will work - or can be modified to work.

I have some slightly longer anti-inversion shackles up front I got from Cruiser Outfitters @cruiseroutfit to try and correct the normal OME rake. When I say slightly, it seems like they were only like a half inch so not sure it would help you here or not. They may have other options but I would give them a holler if you cannot find bushings for the ones you have.

Lemme guess, hammering hard to make it to SAS? Might be tight for a Cruiser Outfitters shipment but who knows. Maybe give them a shout and see if they can help. GL and HTH.

@Gretsch I’ve been emailing with the boys at CO already … and in my SAS prep I’ve been placing orders 1-2x per week lately haha.

Here’s what I’m working with so far:
-2x 5 1/4” dog bone shackles
-Neighbor who can weld anti-inversion tabs
-2x shackle pins (OD 15.5mm)
-OME hardened washers (garage find)
-Energy Suspension 60 Series bushings
(ID 16.5 mm; OD fits 60 hangers and leaf
eyes; also discovered in my garage)

Here’s what I need:
-2x shackle pins (run with 1mm play between pin and inside of bushing)

OR

-4x shackle pins
-appropriate bushings (maybe the Energy ones work or maybe I get new ones)
