yes, I am planning to running them, they have a nice poly bushing up top

they are around $25-$35, depends on where you get them...

I have a set at my house...

planning to add them (on the 1.6" setting) and a home made 1.75" spacer in the front to my truck on top of the 3" lift I already have

They are meant for basically applications that use our style shackles flipped upside down. Using them on other leafs would raise the leaf up towards the body lowering the vehicle, flipping it for us pushes it away from the body lifting the vehicle.

I wonder how these run jacked all the way up. If I didn't think this would make the ***** end shake around a lot I might get them. I wanna run like 5-5.5 from my 3" now. If I want to get ironman4x4s shackles. They go from 2-3.5" and look beef.
