And you can't find any??? Wow.

Since I'm still feeling generous, try DIY4x4 or ORD. Either of them work, DIY's are made of burly plate and give me a little thrill every time I see the back of my Blazer. ORD's are formed from less-burly plate, but look more OEM, if that matters, and are still a billion times stronger than stock... Top notch either way you go, and both companies proudly and strongly support the fullsize GM folks. ;)

yeah, get a new set of chromium plated fully illuminated floor mats to go with it, along with some chrome diff covers and silver rattle can paint to accent all the dark spots and make it go faster.

get some from a 1971 dodge swinger... they will fit perfectly and allow you to run tires from 31" to 53" with no other changes or added lift

I got a set of the lowering shackles off flea-bay for 20 bucks and are for chevy, 7inches from eye-to-eye and they work great with a shackle flip

I have them from ord and diy4x....both good and not too pricey......

Never thought of using angle iron like that. Good idea for making a set even if you dont use them for the trail, use them for trial and error to get things rite

The shackles I have shown here are Lowering shackles and the brand is Western something if I remember correctly and these would lower a 4x4 if used without the shackle flip
