Can anyone recommend OEM-style shackles that provide no additional lift? Mine are toast and I don't want to add shackle lift to the rear with my new lift when I put it on (3"). Tried searching but all that comes up is stuff for relocation brackets.
All I can find are these factory replacements that do not include bushings (that would be too convenient)
Should I just get these and bushings for them and be done with it?

Mr. Wonders...I have no idea, actually. Maybe not until the spring. We'll see how things turn out with my flares, 31s and no lift at the moment. Hoping to have that together by next week. Thanks for the offer!
I'll look those part numbers up too

Yeah I have the Omix too lol.
Keep those long shackles around. I put on 3" springs (okay someone's used-new OE leafs and AAL) and my shackle angle is less than satisfactory.

Do the Omix shacks come with bushings?
Don't call me that. My name is Neal like I said in the other thread.

Yes, I am keeping them. They are greasable too and in good shape. I will go to 4.5" probably down the road, maybe later 2014 even. But, correct me if I am wrong, a longer shackle won't help your angle too much unless you get a relocation kit. Right?
