North Carolina's where it's at. Wide open spaces, no neighbors, no emissions tests and NO SALT!

Not sure about MN, but right across the border in SD... no testing.

Yes, I'm pretty sure shackles are replaceable. However, worst case, buy a whole leaf spring from a salvage yard. Been there, done that. Mine came with a shackle on it.

Do you know what is the best? When you get 14in. of snow in one day.

The weather's not too bad recently, though.

There replaceable (as stated before, has been done to my truck). Probably Dealer item though.

We do have emissions testing, but they don't put the sniffer in the pipe. So as long as it passes the visual inspection then you're set.

I believe the shackles are replaceable. Just wait for zman to see this thread, he had the joy of a broken shackle last year and can let you know what he ended up doing to fix it.
