Heavy Duty Extended Shackles for 69-93  Dodge Full-size 4x4's

When we first designed these shackles the idea was to allow a Dodge with 5" of lift to run 35" tires without hitting the fenders under extreme flex. While they do give you 1/4" of lift and help move the axle forward slightly what they really do is open up a lot more flex in your front suspension. The longer shackles allow the springs to move much more freely and has us getting a full 2" more articulation with a much smoother ride. While this will vary from truck to truck you should notice improvements both on and off-road. The heavy duty design helps take unwanted deflection out of your front suspension and the polyurethane bushing for both the spring eye AND frame hole will restore your old Dodge back to it's youth again. If your truck is already hitting the fenders with the tires you may need to cut the fenders  or install more lift with these shocks. They work that good! Here are some of the feature with our Heavy Duty Extended Shackles

  • Fits all 69-93 W and AW series Dodge trucks

  • 1/2" Longer than stock to allow more spring travel and 1/4" lift. 

  • Also improves caster without adversely effecting pinion angle.

  • A must for lifts of 5" or more and Still works great with 0" to 4" as well

  • Massive travel improvements!

  • 3/8" x 2" plate - dwarfs stock 5/16" x 1 1/2" plates but still doesn't hit the frame rivets.

  • Now available with Urethane upper and lower bushings from Offroad Exchange (optional when ordering from them)!

  • Includes new Grade 8 Bolts and Nylock nuts

These Extended Shackles have given this truck 2" more articulation at the front wheels. That's amazing for the cost. We have over 14" of front travel now up front and 14" rear with off the shelf springs.
