Old School Spring Shackles...
Who sells a decent set of the old style shackle extensions to fit Nova/Camaro rear leaf springs??? Everything I see is for lowering....

Re: Old School Spring Shackles...
Wilma,
you meant like these from Summit? Mr Gasket P/N MRG-1300 Mr Gasket P/N MRG-1299 J.C. Whitney used to sell them but I can't seem to find them on their WEB site. Maybe I'm not looking in the right spot. Ed

Re: Old School Spring Shackles...
Thanks for the feedback on the shackles....I want to raise the back of my 70 black L78/th400 "project" car. We have the new coil springs in the front(1" higher than stock) and the car needs to come up a little in the back. There are airshocks on the car..but they don't seem to come up as high I remember form the old days. I repaired some breaks in the air lines and I don't see any leaks....but they still look low. Those shackle extenders should do the job. Hope to take some photso tomorrow if the sun ever comes out!!

FYI , FWIW, i have found that the best outdoor pix that i take are when the sun is NOT out. Much more even lighting. Good luck.

Re: Old School Spring Shackles...
I couldn't find the pictures of the shackles in those links above but on my Black 68 I have shackles that have only 2 settings. I brought home A 68 for "parts" and it had shackles with about 5 settings which could give you that ugly "but end in the air" look. They were bent badly to one side which I think was common with the really tall ones.

Re: Old School Spring Shackles...
Oh boy!!!!!!!!! Everybody gives me a hard time about my air shocks, if I had shackles they would run me out of town and off the car forums!!!!! Funny thing, back in the 70s, they worked just fine and looked okay. I guess times change, but if you're brave enough Tom, then so am I. Gonna put them on this summer.
I think the Yenko forum is the best forum around. You can mention shackles and people won't "pile on" you for being crazy. Must be the nice, mature membership here. Here is a photo of my car from '73....air shocks/shackles and L60s..... ktownkid
