Thank You VERY Much! Clear and Easy to Follow. Much Appreciated.

I bought the 3" Shackles from CB 4 years ago and my 2013 Tundra still looks AWESOME. My brother just ordered the same set for his 2014 Tundra. Glad this video is still available 👍

No, just swapped the stock shackles with these Heavy Duty 3" Shackles. No other modification needed. With the Low Range Off Road (LRO) 3 in 1 Leveling Kit installed and these 3" Shackles, the look is perfect, you still have that slight rake (Bull Dog) look. FYI: I didn't use the 1" rear blocks that came with the LRO Leveling Kit.

Thanks for the reply. Was wanting to keep that factory rake and not have level or rear end sag. Sounds like this is the ticket and maybe with some 1" blocks too.

Great DIY video...just what I was looking for!

Thanks the video was real helpful , that Toyota looks great

To anyone watching this, he is using the stock OEM leaf eyelet bushings in this video. The kit now comes with polly bushings. Goodluck getting the old ones out if you live in the rust belt. The OEM bushings took me about 6 hours to remove. Install of this kit is extremely easy and takes about 10-20 mins after you get the old bushings out lol.

Good video sir.

about to install mine ( finally !) . I'll be removing the shitty blocks that my dealer installed. I sourced the stock u bolts. should I simply remove the blocks, load the suspension, then tighten the u bolts and then proceed with normal install? your install video was very straight forward. just didn't know if there was a beneficial process for us that are going from a block to your beautiful shackles!

Anything besides shackles I would need for a 2016 tundra with a 4 in Procomp lift?

so that would give me a two or three inch lift in the back so id have to change my front shocks and upper control arm is there a simple inexpensive for the front as well ?

excellent. thank you!

I wonder why you only make the 2 or 3 inch sets Is there a reason you dont make a longer set. I'm looking for 4" of drop. And would prefer to do it all in the shackle instead of a block and shackle mix

I have a ford ranger I'm getting shackles for, do you recommend upgraded shocks for a 3in lift?

your kits come with replacement bushings. however, i see in your video that you did not replace them. are there any issues with using the stock bushings? will the supplied bolts fit though the stock bushings?

We normally use our +3"s and a OME leaf pack. Our Largest shackles ( +3"s) provide 1.75" of actual lift.

is it harder to do it one side at a time? i know sway links like to be quite even for them to free up... is it the same for the shackles/leafs??

@EEExotic

5 жыл бұрын

you def want to remove both shackles at the same time and then install your new shackles at the same time as well, reason being the axle will pivot in line front the front hangers and will not want to twist.

Should the carrier bearing nuts be loosened a little since? lifting the rear is going to pull on the driveline.

@EEExotic

We recommend installing the carrier bearing drop kit after the shackles have been installed and the truck is on the ground. this way the carrier bearing is in a neutral position.

Yes, If your truck is running a stage I lift without front coilover normally use our +2"s and if its a stage II with coilover +3"s would be the size to use.

during installation the rear suspension needs to come down quite a bit more than it will once the truck is back down on the ground. un clip your rubber exhaust hangers during install will def help.

Blocks provide lift but decrease ride quality by adding additional leverage to the leaf packs. Our Coachbuilder shackles provide the best ride quality possible in a shackle.

No, The actual amount of down travel will not require a 2" longer shock when using the OE tundra leafs. You can use a +1"-+1.5" rear shock.

Hell of a production for a tutorial. I'd rather watch this for a couple hours than watch some Kylie Kardashian reality bullshit.

Watch the shackles get take out is angering 3 plus hr later and watch every video on the internet and still cannot get them out. I’m cutting them out. The top moves freely the bottom in the spring will not move no mater where the axel is jack both sides a fd in the a.
