Do 3" shackles exist...???
#1
Does anyone know if anyone makes 3" shackles for our trucks? I think TXsilverado has some on his truck, but not really sure.
I just put some home made leaf spring clamps on my truck for traction... plus it lowered the rear exactly 1".
I want to drop the truck another 3"s from the rear and 3"s from the front for a 3/4 drop. (I like a little bit of rake). Was thinking of going with 3" springs and 3" shackles. (seems most affordable) Any help, suggestions, or comments apreciated.
edit: if anyone has pics of a 3/4 drop on their truck, don't hesitate to post them up.
btw, my truck is a '03 rcsb Silverado.

I had a set of Belltech 2" drop shackles on the back of my truck. By looking at the clearance between the shackles and the bed there wasn't enough room for an extra inch. But a 3" shackle set could exist. My truck is a old school 92 SCSB Chevy with a Hotchkis TVS kit.
