When performance leaf springs are added to your truck, the extension and compression of the leaf springs length can bind up the tight rubber OEM shackle bushing. Removing every bit of friction counts.
Thuren Shackles were originally designed as the key component to our Long Travel extended Leafs, but will fit any truck with OEM or aftermarket leafs. As an added benefit, we added the ability to tune the rear suspension height with three mounting positions.
Fitment:
2003-2013 4x4 2500
2003-2012 4x4 3500
2005-2013 Power Wagons.

The grease-able 75D bushing at the shackle pivot provides smooth bind-free shackle swing.
3 position height adjustable, when used with OEM or other brand leafs. Stock height, 3/4" lift, and 1-3/4" lift options.
Thuren LT leafs must use the longest span mounting, so they become non-height adjustable with Thuren Long Travel leafs installed.
I just got back from a 50 minute drive, after installing the Thuren High Performance Leaf Spring Shackles. I felt there was a noticeable improvement in the ride quality, over the OEM shackles + 2" lift block setup that I had before. I removed the 2" lift blocks, and I'm using the bottom hole in the Thuren shackles, for a 1 3/4" lift in the rear. I wish I had done more homework, before purchasing/installing a Pure Performance lift kit. Unlike the Pure Performance kit, the Thuren suspension components fits properly, the first time. I've gradually swapped out the Pure Performance parts, for Thuren products, and I couldn't be happier.

Rear leaf shackles
I was very impressed with the three items that I ordered from Thuren. The design is elegant, the welding is exceptional, and the installation instructions were clear.

Great product. Lifted the back of my Power Wagon up just the right amount to make up for all the camping gear and GFC.
