Shackles - Question??

This is a picture of after market shackles installed on my Tundra. Its the shackle to frame connection. What do you see? Is this acceptable?

 

did the installer put in new bushings ?

 

I'm the installer. Yes they are new bushings.

 

Is the bolt long enough?

 

Link to kit installed so we can get a Better idea of what you put in there?

 

What does the bushing look like on the leaf spring itself? That upper bushing is already a poly bushing, looks like those green ones are meant to go in the spring not the frame? Either way there is a sleeve inside those bushings so if everything is torqued to spec then its probably meant to be that way, maybe to provide a space for grease between the bushings?

 

To me , it looks like the spacing is too wide and those green spacers? need to compact towards the frame a bit. - I could be wrong-

 

What company made them?

 

They are greaseable shackles, so no sleeve. Just a pin with a shoulder. The shoulders are tight up against the shackle on both sides! I am going to measure the gap with a washer and a feeler guage. Just by looking at the gap I estimate 3/16". Doesn't seem right to me!?

 

I don't think your wrong. The bushing flange does fit up to the frame when the shackle shifts. If that makes sense. I think the pin shoulders could be a little closer together.

 

I think too long

 

@Ry24000 did you get this settled w/ Ironman?

 

I

They say it's ok and the design. I feel it's a little sloppy. I'll lift the truck and get some feeler guages in there to get accurate measurements and shim it. A winter project.

How did this install end up? and how are you liking the durability of the Ironmans after a couple of years? I have the FCP Stage 1 on order for my 08’

 

I never have done anything about it. Moved then family troubles and new house projects got in the way. The rig runs good though
