What year and model??

MAN00XJ

I'd like to know as well, although im assuming S10 since thats the vehicle used for the "bastard" pack.

Full size Chevy drop shackles. They sell them with the lift blocks and such. Not sure of the year but you will get 2.5-3" out of them. I think I paid about $30 for mine.

F150 shackles from a Junkyard will get you a little over a inch but you will have to grind a little of the F150 steel bushing to get it into the shackle location on the XJ.

Any year full size Chevy pickup???

Ram truck shackles are 2" longer as well and only slightly wider.

Dakota shackles look to be 3/4" to 1" I'll know this weekend installing a set on a buddy's XJ

Doesn't specify a year on the box, just lowering shackles for 1500 series trucks. Go to AutoZone, Advance etc and ask for them.

Went to advance auto parts and they didn't carry them so I'll check Auto Zone later on to see if they carry them.
