🔩 Superior 13-4000 Lift-Shackle Kit - Universal Fit excluding 1955-1957 Chevrolet models Review

Very good, not installed yet but I can say they will work great on my 2001 S10 double cab. The screws are ok but I'll probably switch to 1/2" grade 8 screws, still plenty for braces alone, they're about twice the thickness of the original.

Pretty heavy and easy to use. The holes were machined very off center in the steel in 2 of the 4 pieces. Bad quality control. The bolts fit very freely in the holes. I used them on a cargo trailer to make room for the big tires. For my purpose they were ok.

Good strong struts. The only problem is that the screws that came with it were 1 inch shorter. I had to buy 4 new 1/2" x 6" screws and I was done. I used the first hole after the top hole and it raised my Nova 1 just the way I wanted it. I cut off the bottom 2 holes, sanded them and painted matte black.

Couldn't use them for the right application but they are heavy gauge steel and I'll be saving them for another project. Too cheap to ask for a refund. These are the same shackles we used in the 50's, 60's and early 1970's to raise the rear of our cars for a 'stripped' look.

For those who ask, it's 10 inches long, 1.5 inches wide and 1/4 inch. The holes are 1/2 inch in diameter. My application uses 9/16" screws. So I had to drill the pairs of holes I used a bit larger. With the "stepper" bit in the drill press, that wasn't a problem. They seem quite durable and worth the money. They are on a special trailer. If I were to use them on a real vehicle I would like reinforcing cross braces welded between each pair of braces to avoid the risk of bending due to length…
