anyone have a picture of the lowering shackles on their truck?
i want to get them but want to see where they go, cant seem to find them on my truck-

 

i just ordered the leveling shackle for the back today

 

and? my questions still not answered!!!! lol i just want to know where they are located i tried lookin but with all the skid plates in the way i dont see them unless im retarded and lookin right at them i dont know
so if any of you great techs out there wana help me out it would be amazing

 

they're in the rear...

you can't miss them.

 

you have skid plates i dont have those not fair

 

Wait so dodge put skid plates on the R/T.... Road And Trail now or what... But as for the shackles, look in the rear at the ends of your leaf springs.

 

my 05 came from the factory with skid plates and it is a normal slt. both frt and under the tranny cross member. also the shakles are at the end of the leaf spring under the rear bumper, very easy to get to and replace. most shops will charge you 30 to do takes about 15 minutes for the shop and about 1 hour in your drive way.

 

My shop only charged me 15 dollars to do it... hahah...

But I live in a stupid small town, and the dude has done work for my dad, forever, so he helped me out.

But ya, about half hour, to an hour of total work time, involved.

 

thanks alot for the help,
yeah it did come on the R/T kind of happy it did, just incase they do make a lowering kit dont mess anything up under there if i was to hit something....
do you need a jack or anything for this or can u do it with out it?

 

what you need is a jack under the meatball to raise up the truck. once it is high enough you have to put the truck up on frame stands. this will allow you to move the shakle and spring up or down when removing or installing the shakles. do one side at a time and you will be good. also you need a 55mm torx socket for the top bolts. and a plain socket or wrench for the bottom bolts. depending on how much road grime is on the bolts, it may be better off to get new ones from the dealer or your local hardware store. i did not have to because i did the shakles early when i purchased the truck
