Thoughts on Sulastic spring shackles?

Buck1 · Mar 24, 2014

Would like to soften up the ride of my truck. Probably do Icon or Carli Springs up front and thinking about shackles for the back. Anyone have any experience with them good or bad?

Im curious too. getting ready to do my lift on my truck and using stock leafs with traction blocks. would like to soften the ride some.

Well, I got them, very nice looking pcs and was gonna install tonite, but hit a little road block. The way my flatbed is made, it will have to come off for me to get shackle bolts out. So, it may be a day or two before I get these installed.

I've installed a couple of them. Mostly on 1 ton duallies. It will soften the ride quite a bit.

Now all I can think about is Daniel Day Lewis running up a mountain. I'm going to have to watch Last of the Mohicans now.

I have velvet rides and have been very happy with them. Both lbcc 1 tons.

I had a 2004 Dodge 3500 that had them on it when I bought it. It did ride much better than my Ford, but it's kind of apples to oranges since the Ford is leafs all around and the Dodge had the coils in the front. Never got a before and after either since they were on it when I bought it. I didn't notice any negative side effects of them though. I hope you get the improvement out of them you are looking for.

Did you ever get these on? Thoughts? I've had velvet shackles on my CCSB for years, but know how hard they are to find these days. Looking at options for a new project...

2 trucks done with them here recently, a lowered LMM and a 2015 f250, great improvement over previous.

I haven't installed mine yet. Have to pull the bed to do it. Think I am gonna jump straight to air ride. Will probably put on Mommy's new ride.
