Upgraded stock leaf spring shackles

I am still wrestling with whether I should keep this Tundy and get some beefier leaf springs, or ditch it and just go to an HD truck.

If I keep the Tundra, I think I would like to get some custom leaf springs from Alcan. I currently have Toytec shackles, but I think that I would get rid of these and go back to a stock height shackle, and just order the new leaf springs to include a 1" of rear lift that I have now. Are there good upgrades to the stock height shackles that are not longer? I have searched a bit and haven't found much. I really like the Toytec shackles - they are stouter than stock, but not so stout as to take away space for an oversized spare - but I can't go to a stock height with them.

Anybody got a good source for some beefier stock height shackles?

 

ARB greasable shackles.

 

Nice! Thanks for the info!

 

David at ToyTec should be able to order them for you with forum discount.

 

The ARB shackles do have about 5/8" lift from stock compared to OEM shackles. Not much and beefier than the OEMs.

 

Good to know. I can factor that into the spring build. My rear ADS shocks are only good up to 1" of lift.

I imagine that the spring maker might have some options as well.

Now I just have to decide what direction I am going to go.

 

Alcan will make them up exactly how you want them.
