Hey guys,

I'm looking for the part that is riveted to the frame inside that supports the shackle bolt. I'd rather not use the crusty ones from the donor.

They have to be at least 87-91, bullnose MIGHT work but the Aeronose uses a completely different style.

The picture below was stolen from @reset2 truck while at the rally last year :D

@IDIoit do you have any kicking around? I know you recently did a shackle flip for your kids truck.

might as well shackle reverse!

Definitely considered it. Trying to keep the cost and the height down. I've got all the stock stuff except for those cup pieces. I know your shackle reversal keeps stock height but I don't trust my welds to that yet haha.

Are you running newer springs or have you been using original springs?

Bumping this. Have a couple possibilities but nothing solid yet. Might end up making a set but would like to find some clean OE ones instead.

Awesome! There are a couple other small things I may need if you have them. I've been going to pick your brain about something else unrelated too.
