Call ESPO Springs and things http://www.espo.com/ 800-903-9019 or visit their ebay store http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8018184130&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT
If you have a shackle that is good but bad bushings on the shackle, RockAuto.com has the bushing sets (Moog part # K8785) for $9.29 per side. Most parts here are very close to wholesale prices that the parts store pay.
moog 8785 is the bushings. i ordered the complete shackle kit from checkers auto parts. bars, bolts and bushings for about $23 per side.
Avoid JC Whitney shackles. Here is my story: JC Whitney is a total crap shoot on shackles. I went round and round with their customer service department about them and the foreign made junk they shipped me. When I bought my springs I ordered the shackles too ( I know, I was warned here about them ). In the past I have received good quality ones from them, so I thought all was going to be OK. The pair I received were night and day difference between the 2 of them. One of them was from a spring company here in the States, and it was extremely good quality. Perfect shape, heavy duty steel and great rubber bushings. The other one was made in India, was a thin light weight stamping, 3/8" shorter then the USA made one between the bolts, rubber was "funny" feeling, and worst of all it was twisted. One excellent, the other total junk. I sent the one back and asked for another one of the USA made ones. Their customer service department looked through everything they had in stock and could only find the India crap ones. They refunded my money completely and I had to get shackles from another source.
