spring shackles for 95 F150 2WD?

I just bought a 95 XLT supercab 2wd with 5.0 auto. No rust on body at all but does need front rotors and brakes. It also needs both Rear spring shackes. Right and Left rear shackles. Where is the best place to find these and what is a good price? I did find an Ebay store that has them new for $110 plus shipping for the pair. Thanks

get them at the ford dealer.

you will need the bolts and nuts also as you will probably have to cut the old ones out.

much written on this so do a search for problems that will arise.

that looks like a pretty good price for the hangers and the shackles.


the price for the shackles alone will be 100 bucks or so from ford.

get the kit and tell use what you think after it comes.

looks like the ford parts, ask them where they come from.

i see that they sell the shackles and bolts/nuts only for 27 bucks.

if that is all you need just get those.

Just an Update, I did purchase the shackle kit from the Ebay store above for $100. Had the installed about a month ago. Everything is perfect and holding up well. The shop that did the work for me said everything was of good quality and was surprised at the great price I got them for.
