2-Inch Rear Leaf Spring Shackle

The DJM Suspension SH1014-2 is a rear lowering shackle kit engineered to provide a 2-inch drop for 1973-1996 Ford F-Series 5-lug trucks. The leaf spring shackle is a critical pivot point in the rear suspension, allowing the leaf spring to adjust in length as the suspension moves over bumps and dips. Installation involves removing the factory shackle and replacing it with the longer DJM shackle. The product is priced as a pair and includes instructions. For optimal performance and ride quality, it is recommended to lubricate the bushings and bolts during installation. Care should be taken not to overtighten the pivot bolt, as this can restrict shackle movement, negatively affecting the ride height and overall comfort. The pivot bolt should be tight but secured with the factory locknut, avoiding excessive tightening with pneumatic tools. This product is specifically designed for the 1973-1996 Ford F-Series 5-lug models. Please note that the product is a special order item and is not returnable. Delivery times can range from 4 to 12 weeks.
