Chassis Tech Drop Shackles

Anyone have experience with this company? I just want to know if these are a viable option to the 80 dollar McGaughys. I did a search, one person mentioned them but not that they were installed.

I have used their stuff on a few Chevys, shackles, drop leaf springs
good stuff, the use poly bushings but make sure you lube them or they will be noisey

Any particular lube? Or just regular general purpose? I just don't want to skimp but I'm trying to see the difference between those and the MaG's.

Hey they're american made so thats a plus. I'm always leery of the chinese crap

I should be installing them tomorrow so we will see. Quality looks great though.

Zero issues installing them and they have zerk fittings so I greased them up. Definitely has a better stance to the truck and rides a bit better. I can't tell how much they lowered it but the rear doesn't sit super high anymore. It appears to be pretty level though hard to tell due to the uneven driveway and roads here.

I was looking at those shackles as well. Any pics of your Ram after the install? Cant beat the price but I was wondering how well they were constructed.

Looks like a good find! Still debating if I need to really drop the rear as It sits perfect when I hook up my Trailer but the ass does sit pretty high when empty/off season.

I didn't notice much of a difference when I did drop shackles, post a pic when you can

KNG SNKE · Feb 11, 2014

Give me a bit and I'll snap a photo. I definitely notice a difference. Even a non car person at work noticed the back was lower. Feels better, stance is better. Not perfectly level but within 1/2 inch. Quality of the shackles looks better than Oem so no concern from me. They have zerks as well so easily greasable if necessary.

Took these with my phone. Sorry for bad quality but the weather has been especially nasty lately in RI. Haven't washed the truck in months. Things to note, the angle looks weird. My tires are the same size front and rear. 305/45/22. Definitely leveled it out more. Could use another .5 max but no purpose, I'm happy with how it is.

Odd angle but here is a before photo. Definitely different wheel well.

Only issue is they are noisy as others have said. I need to grease them more. I didn't grease the zerks when I installed them. Definitely load them up. I need to add more though.
