i got mine at the dealer.wasn't priced to bad. look very closely at the perches and toher side too.

 

Find a spring shop. Normally noone touches any of my trucks, Or my farm equipment, but our local spring shop replaced all my shackles, spring bushings and rearched all the springs a lot cheaper than I could have bought just the parts for. It was well worth it for all the work he did.

 

i don't know if this lmc is any good. i got on there site to look for a door handle, they wanted something like 9.97 plus 7.95 for ship & handling, so i called Advance Auto same part for $6.18 plus no shipping and no wait.

 

Spring Accessories such as Shackle bolts, hangers, and shackles
I just got my front shackels from here. Ford wanted $130 each. USA made Dayton from here was about 26 bucks.

 

X2....Stengle Bros, Good place to deal with. That's the cheapest place I've found too.

After the rivets are gone it can be a PITA to install the replacement bolts especially if you have a rear fuel tank.

On the last one I did I used their kit for both sides it includes everything from the leaf springs out to the frame including the bolts to get it done. The spring shackle is probably shot too.

 

oh and choose the correct length bolts. bolts that are too long will puncture your rear tank. oops.....

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In your sig after "On The Way" add BTS transmision after stage II's. LOL

 

ordered parts from lmc. but i aint payin no 17 bucks for 1 stinkin bolt. i'll go with grade 8. any ideas on how long they should be?

 

Wish this had been posted 2 weeks ago!!!!!!

 

Did I miss something....You should have used the link that johnstoys2 posted for you. The brackets are 23.13 vs. $49.95 from LMC and the most expensive bolt they have is $10.04. Yours would have been $5.42...and worth it.....Those are special bolts, not just grade 8's. Standard bolts are threaded too far down the shank, the threads will wear into the spring bushing. My 2 cents.

 

wait... i am confuzzed! did you need just the shackles or the shackle and hanger?

i bought a pair of F450 shackles (they are heavier duty) from the Ford counter at $18/piece.

yea i wish i would have looked again before ordering. i didnt check back in time to see the post.
