The big Rock Auto has the 4600 for $160 shipping included. Just going to order those. It looks like my shackle bushing are the molded rubber type so just to make sure I will tear it all apart before ordering the bushing kit. Energy has a kit for "common frame shackles" and "molded in frame". I cant see a shell so I'm assuming they are the molded type.

Finished up the rear leaf spring bushings and new shackles. Got a set of dorman shackles and burned out the bushings all energy suspension stuff. Went with the Bilstein 4600's truck drives good. Anyone looking for the lower shock bolts Lowes Item #755846 is a perfect fit like it was made for the truck. Bolts on my truck were 1/4 wore through. Entire truck is now energy suspension except cab stuff. New axle ubolts from PMF suspension. They sent 12 1/2 inch bolts first, way too long, sent me a new 10 1/2 inch set and those were good to go.

Already did the Blistein 4600's. Drives good. Rear end was not right especially from take off I dont know if it was axle wrap or what. Driver side shackle was totally frozen and had to be cut off with a hard wheel. A lot of slop in everything else like leaf spring bushings and lower shock bushings and bolts. . All the work seems to have helped quite a bit.
