can you guys measure your drop shackles and give me the brand and length? I've got a DJM 2 4 kit on the truck rite now and am looking to get just a little more. My shackles measure 6 1/2in center to center and I know there is some out there a little longer than that. Thanks in advance and if you got any for sale let me know

 

Every single one is going to have within a .5" difference(if even that). There simply isn't enough room under the bed to put a longer shackle. Belltech makes an adjustable drop shackle that is supposed to go from 1-3" but even that one only drops the truck <2.5"

 

I know there gonna be close but I think I've got the shortest 2in shackles out there

 

I grabbed some Belltech ones, I think, off of Jegs. They dropped it exactly 2" measured at the fender. Dunno what the shackles themselves spec out to, though, as far as overall length or whatever measurement you're seeking.

 

Let me clarify here. I'm looking fore the measurement from the hole where the shackle bolts to the frame, to the hole where where bolt that holds the leaf spring goes.

 

You did install these yourself right? You did notice that there's only about an inch of room between the top of the shackle and the bottom of the bed,right?

Just remember that even if you go with a shackle that is 1" longer it will only drop your truck maybe .5"

Yes I installed my drop kit, and no I've never looked very close past the top of my shackle till now. I have about 1.5in, but like i said I'm only trying to get a little more. 3/4'' would be great 1/2 would be ok

 

why not just buy a flip kit and run a lift shackle? You'd get about 4.5"-5" drop in the rear and it would ride like stock.

 

all i really want to do is a shackle swap

 

DJM 6 5/8"
Ground Force 7 7/16"

Bell Tech is a little taller than both of those.
