I want to toss out my blocks and use some shackles instead.

Anyone know where i can find a set of 3in drop shackles, maybe adjustable?

 

not gonna happen. only works on 4wd trucks. 2wd have the shackle flipped. 4wd goes above the hanger, 2wd bellow. You could buy a flip kit. drop it 4" like nothing.

 

This is true, but your cheapest bet is to find the shackles from a 4x4 dakota in a pull it yourself junkyard. I believe the hangers are riveted on, so you'll need something that can drill them out. I assume it would be the same for the 2nd gen as the 1st gen, but I know on the 1st gen if you swap to the 4x4 hangers/shackles it will give you your 3 inches of drop (or lift if you have a 4x4 and go to 2wd hangers)

 

I think it's impossible...

 

thats nice, whats your reasoning? It's not only possible, shackle lifts/drops are also safer than blocks.

 

scew it ill just get new leafs and replace the caltrac bushings...blahhh

 

Anything is possible with the right tools

 

User how come your coming soon mods always change. Are you like me and change your mind every othe day lol. No more Vortech?

 

Cuz the Blower is going to be the last thing i do once i have EVERYTHING else i want done... done! lol...

After Heads and Cam there will be nothing else i can do to my motor besides stroke it to a 408 but im gonna leave it be and just blow it with 9-10psi.

Heads and cam should be on before the end of summer.. blower should be on by end of the year hopefully... if i dont run into anymore things that set me back in my wallet... like TICKETS and Court....

 

Ive got a pair of 2" drop hangers... i bought them on craigslist but they were never installed and still not (i havent decided to tackle drilling the old ones out yet so i just went with blocks) but they are from djm.... you might check there to see if they have some 3"
good luck
