Shackle Kits for Jeep, F-150, Silverado, Ram and Tacoma Trucks

What This Collection Covers

Shackle kits connect the leaf spring to the chassis and are used for replacement, ride-height adjustment or added serviceability. The selection spans extended lift shackles, lowering shackles, greaseable Jeep shackle assemblies and matched hanger kits.

Built for verified applications

Use the fitment details and product specifications on each listing to confirm the correct application before ordering. Components that look similar can use different sizes, mounts, threads or clearances.

Lift and Lowering Shackles

Choose the intended ride-height change

Extended shackles can raise the rear of suitable leaf-spring vehicles, while lowering shackles can reduce rear ride height. Use only the amount of change listed for the exact vehicle, then inspect driveline angles, shock travel and tire clearance.

Greasable Shackle Kits

Serviceable suspension pivots

Greasable shackle designs make it easier to maintain bushings and pivot sleeves where the product is built for lubrication. Confirm spring width, bushing dimensions, pin size and chassis configuration before ordering.

Jeep, Truck and SUV Fitment

Vehicle-specific hardware matters

Current listings cover Jeep CJ, Willys and Wrangler YJ applications along with Ford F-150, F-Series, GM Silverado and Sierra, Ram, Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Titan trucks. These parts are not universal, so confirm the exact model and suspension layout.

Suspension Setup After Installation

Check the full rear suspension

After a ride-height change, inspect shock travel, brake-line slack, driveshaft angles, tire clearance and spring-bushing condition. Align or correct related suspension settings as required by the vehicle and the installed kit.

Common Questions

What is a shackle kit?

A shackle kit includes the hardware that connects a leaf spring to the frame or a related hanger assembly. Some kits also alter rear ride height.

Can shackles lift a truck or Jeep?

Some extended shackle kits provide a stated amount of lift on compatible leaf-spring applications. Confirm the exact product listing for the vehicle and height change.

Can shackles lower a truck?

Yes. Lowering shackles are available for specific trucks and can reduce rear ride height when installed on the listed application.

What does greasable mean?

A greasable shackle includes a serviceable lubrication point or design intended to help maintain the shackle pivot components.

Are shackle kits universal?

No. Spring width, bushing size, pin configuration, frame mount and intended ride-height change vary by vehicle.

Do I need an alignment after installing shackles?

A rear shackle change can affect vehicle stance and related suspension geometry. Check alignment and inspect driveline and tire clearances after installation.

Can I reuse old shackle bushings?

Inspect the old bushings and hardware closely. Replace worn, cracked or loose components rather than installing them with new shackles.

Will a shackle kit affect shock length?

It can. Any lift or lowering change should be checked against available shock travel and mounting position.

Are these kits for front or rear suspension?

Most listed kits are identified by their intended position. Read the product title and fitment information before ordering.
