    Yes, There is a very noticeable difference between our Coachbuilder shackles and the other brands out there. Ride quality, Rigidity and overall functionality were the target goals we set out for when designing this product. You will feel the difference.:thumbsup:

    plus 3"s wouldn't that be a pretty big rake with a 3" level up front? I'm thinking the plus 2's for me. I have Toytec shackle now set at 1.5" and looks a little to raked with my 3" up front.Let me know!
    Thanks!

    Do you just grease the outside of the new bushings or internal also and the top frame ones?

    The upper frame rail bushings are the only factory polyurethane bushings on the entire truck, they stay in place, you can pull them out and grease them ( use a PTFE Teflon based lube ) but will not be replacing them. Our poly bushing kit will be preinstalled on the lower portion of the shackles and will be replacing the OE rubber bushings inside the rear leaf spring eyelets. Your kit will include 2 grease packs. First grease pack will be used to lube all outer surfaces of the new poly bushings ( 4 pieces ) and the outer surface of the 2 steel center sleeves. Second grease pack will be used to lube the smooth portion of the shackle hardware before installing. We added a few install tips highlighted in the install guide that will help speed things up and make your install simple.

    You are still able to fit a 35" spare but will need to mod the front stops. you can either bend them forward or just remove them. they are our limiting factor for fitting the larger spare and yes.. you will want to point the threaded portion of the shackles hardware out towards the bedsides.

    So just got them installed and went really good.....I was expecting a night mare only took about 2hrs or little less.......just wanted to make sure for anyone that has installed them in the past that the bottom part of shackle that has sort of the squared indention faces out and not inward I will post some pics to make sure it was done correctly

    +2 Shackle

    I have ICON stage 3 kit and it has the rear leaf pack. I think it replaces some or all of the factory leaf springs, but I'm not sure. Right now the truck sits level but I need some rake.
