Default Leaf spring shackles

Can you mesure shackles? Or how do you know what size shakes you have bought a jeep and dont know what size they are?

Shackle length is typically measured between bolt hole centers. The width of the bushing is also important.

Keep in mind, a shackle that is 3" longer than stock will not net 3" of lift because they are not (or should not) be vertical when in the vehicle.
