They're on there for $109.00. Look under suspension, drop shackles.

Johnny Lightning Performance.
The shackles have 3 sets of holes in them. I have an '03 L and I used the hole all the way at the top and my truck sits almost perfectly level. The JLP shackles are very nice and easy to install. Regular price is like $109 plus shipping.

Here's a photo of the stock shackle next to a JLP shackle.

as well as being like 1/8" from the bottom of the bed. lol...impossible to get longer ones up there


can't wait til my hotchkis rear leafs come in so i can replace the foot long shackles
will probably put a set of belltech shackles back on at the 1" setting with the hotchkis rear leafs to try and get as close to the rear drop i have now, maybe slightly more and sell the JLP's

i already have a set of 2" belltechs, teknics gave them to me for helping him install his hotchkis/roush drop setup. and for the JLP's i already have a buyer lined up, otherwise i'd give you first dibs.

i dont know when i will get my leafs though, RobW from nhtoc is waiting for his new leafs to arrive so he can swap out them on his truck, then he is shipping me his old hotchkis leafs so i can install them on my truck. so depending on the time frame i may not get this swap done til spring. i'm in no big rush with this cold weather near

If you put 4" shacles on, your truck will handle like a sail boat.

If you want to drop properly, it will be more work but will work a hell of allot better.

Nobody else sells them because they have integrity and wouldn't compromise people's safety.

i have jlp 3" shackles, and i think they work fine for a drop.

the increased sway is extremely noticeable under hard cornering, and i plan to go back to the stock shackles and just use hangars. i think it would be fine for a street driven truck (up to 3", 4" is a little long) but it will affect your handling.
