Description:
Replace those old, bent, rusty shackles on your Mopar with some Heavy Duty Shackles from Hotchkis Sport Suspension. These shackles are made from .250" steel and are finished in gloss black powder coat. What's really cool about these shackles is the design. The bolts are specially machined by Hotchkis, as direct copies of the original shackle bolts, consisting of a large machined shoulder that acts as the bushing sleeve and is machined down to lock the opposite shackle plate in position. Many other aftermarket shackles on the market use a bushing sleeve and a smaller bolt to achieve this which reduces strength. The kit includes grade 8 hardware, nylock nuts, polyurethane bushings, and grease.
This kit contains 1" leaf spring bushings which are commonly used on many Dodge, Plymouth applications. Please ensure your car has 1" bushings. These are a perfect upgrade to your Hotchkis Leaf Springs for the B&E Body Cars.

Q: Do hangers and shackles automatically go together, or would you ever use them separately?
A: If you use one without the other, the geometry of your truck's suspension will be skewed, which will result in worsened ride quality and unnecessary wear and tear on your truck's tires and suspension. In most cases, it is best to buy a complete hanger and shackle kit as opposed to just buying one hangers or shackles by themselves.
Q: What are hangers and shackles? Why buy hangers and shackles?
A: Hangers are the bracket that the front of the leaf spring is bolted to (leaf springs are a main suspension component for the rear end of most trucks). When you buy a new hanger to lower your truck, you are buying a hanger that locates the front half of the leaf spring higher on the frame and therefore lowers your truck. For the geometry of your truck suspension to remain optimal, it is also necessary to change out the shackles to replace your factory ones, which is why hangers and shackles are almost always sold together. Buying hangers and shackles is one of multiple ways to lower the rear of a truck that utilizes a leaf spring suspension setup.
