Supreme suspension shackles

I tried searching for this but didn’t really get what I thought was solid intel from prior posts. Has anyone used supreme suspension shackles? They are a little more cost effective than Toytec but if they aren’t worth it I’d like to know. They look solid and I was looking to just raise the rear a bit since lifting the front 2+ with some bilstien 5100s a while back.

 

never heard of them. Buy a good brand with proven products, coachbuilder, toytec are both fine for shackles. Id rather have a proven product vs trying my luck in order to save $20 bucks.

 

I ordered a pair. Will report back.

 

Toy tech for me

 

They were my first choice until I saw the Supremes. I do like that the Toytecs are 1” or 1.5”.

I almost made my own but got lazy.

 

Second the Coachbuilders shackles.

 

My Supreme shackles showed up in 3 or 4 days.

They pass my visual inspection. Welds look decent. There are a couple weld berries that weren’t removed before the cheap wrinkle coating. The parts look laser cut as opposed to plasma cut. Holes are clean, not tapered. Bends are crisp.

The company claims US sourced steel on there website.

Hardware is grade 10.9 with locknuts.

I’ll update when I install.

 

I'm sure they will held up, it's all about fitment and lift gain...factory shackle is like same thickness

 

Everything came apart clean but it looks like I will need some aftermarket poly bushings to make everything play nicely.

Will report back.

 

Official Report:

Good: The Supreme Suspensions shackles are just fine. The welds are large and wetted-in well without any undercut. Claimed US materials. Full 3/8” thick steel, large gussets, and clean holes that align correctly.

Less Good: I did have to widen the smaller end of the shackle 1/8” to fit the Coach Builder bushings.

In my opinion worth every penny of $120 USD. Not Gucci or fancy but I trust them. Time will tell if I’m wrong.

 

How’s the long-ish term been with these?

 

Still look and function like new. I’m now considering Supreme’s ubolt flip kit……..or Archive.

 

Awesome, thanks for the reply! I know the fancy billet aluminum stuff from CB looks amazing, but I’m not sure why they would work any better than these?

 

Ended up with the Archives.
