Diesel Innovations Rear Drop Shackles

Has anyone used their rear drop shackles? I just placed an order for a set and was wondering if there were any pitfalls I need to avoid.


This will just add to the garage full of parts I'm ready to install now that it's starting to cool down.

Never used them but from seeing them at his shop they look to be good quality. Don't think you would have too many problems installing them except the length should be shorter and it'll be a bear to line up the holes. That's my take on them.

They should be here shortly. I need to drop the rear a few inches to level out the stance.

Drop shackles are actually longer.

if you have a lift and a jack installing them should be a breeze.

Also has diesel said they'll be longer so they'll swing back further.
