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.
I would like to purchase one of your shackles A set These don’t look like the ones on the TH-cam video all I could help a little businessman out I still like to purchase some shackles My bad it is I like to purchase a 2 inch I just got on your website thank you
Proto Type shackles were our installed shackles. There have been a number of improvements made over the years Taka e look here shop-coachbuilder.myshopify.com
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 ?
At the time we shot this install video we had not completed our poly/graphite replacement bushings. They are now standard with all Coachbuilder shackle kits. thanks for watching.
@@EEExotic sorry Do not pay attention to the date I was looking at the video as a reference. I just purchased from y’all just a few days ago the poly bushings for my 2021 tundra
@@EEExotic cool cant wait for tomorrow to get my new fox shocks i currently have the 4.5” rear block from pro comp so now that I added the 3+ shackles its sitting nice I love it🤘
I need these!!! Hate my rear suspension setup and it feels like the RC lift makes my rear end slip when I hit bumps or off road. Worse as well when towing my gooseneck
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.
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?
At the time we shot this we had not finishing designing our Poly bushing kit.. Shackle kit always includes rear leaf spring eyelet bushings and all necessary hardware. shop-coachbuilder.myshopify.com
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
David, I am about to put #1 CB shackles on my 2017 Tundra 4x4 CM, I have 290/70/18 tires on it, can I do the install with the rear tires on or do I need to remove them! Also do I need to remove the spare as well! Thanks!
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. You'll also need to bump up the size of the carrier bearing drop kit. shopcoachbuilder.com/collections/frontpage/products/coachbuilder-2-shackles-provides-1-25-of-actual-lift shopcoachbuilder.com/collections/frontpage/products/coachbuilder-3-shackles-provides-1-75-of-actual-lift shopcoachbuilder.com/collections/frontpage/products/coachbuilder-carrier-bearing-drop-kit-rear-lift-3-5
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
do shackle help lift the back of the suv 4runner I'm lost 1/2 inch cause I put aftermarket rear coil so if I use a shackle can that help bring my suv rear back up
Impressive that you have not raised prices by much at all even with the volatile steel market.
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.
+2’s only netted me 3/4” 🤷🏼♂️
10 years later and still the most helpful video on YT!!
You should also remove the rear block correct?

Great, feel free to order directly from our site. shopcoachbuilder.com
The shackles you installed were different that the plus 2 & 3 shackles on the ground?
Proto Type shackles were our installed shackles. There have been a number of improvements made over the years Taka e look here shop-coachbuilder.myshopify.com
I recieved carrier bearing drop kit
What is purpose having longer shackles and what size will I need? I am 3" rear
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 ?
Should have replaced the leaf springs bushing with polymer bushings so much better of a ride! Just sayin

@@EEExotic sorry Do not pay attention to the date I was looking at the video as a reference. I just purchased from y’all just a few days ago the poly bushings for my 2021 tundra
Can I add these after I already have rear block lift on my tundra? I actually already did just waiting on my new longer shocks lol
Yes, our shackles work flawlessly with lift blocks or aftermarket leaf springs. feel free to reach out if you need help with anything else.
@@EEExotic cool cant wait for tomorrow to get my new fox shocks i currently have the 4.5” rear block from pro comp so now that I added the 3+ shackles its sitting nice I love it🤘
What kind of lift do you have? I have the pro cómo stage 2 6”. Did you ever remove the rear Block!?
excellent. thank you!
Glad it was helpful. shop-coachbuilder.myshopify.com
The shackles don't need to be perpendicular to the ground?
No, The angle constantly changes as the leafs cycle.
I need these!!! Hate my rear suspension setup and it feels like the RC lift makes my rear end slip when I hit bumps or off road. Worse as well when towing my gooseneck
shop-coachbuilder.myshopify.com Let me know if you need a hand with anything.
@6:22 bolt should be facing the street.. shouldn't you replace the bolts and nuts the same way you took them off?
Yes, good eye, Threads should be facing out towards the bedside when installing. this will allow maximum room for spare.
@@EEExotic thanks.. wasnt sure if it meant anything.. cool..

did u try torching them out ?
what size shanckles will be needed and with what else to get 4" in lift on tundra rear. eliminate 4" current 4" block.
We normally use our +3"s and a OME leaf pack. Our Largest shackles ( +3"s) provide 1.75" of actual lift.
oh teacher is very good that worlk,,congratuleychion
David ?
Do you have any videos installing the steering kit for the 3rd gen tundras?
Do you make for Tacoma too?
Anything besides shackles I would need for a 2016 tundra with a 4 in Procomp 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?

Almost perfect except for the final look of the truck with them on it
Also the fact you should torque the nuts before putting weight on the bolts
@@Treyorrrr always torque under pressure
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
Looks too easy, there has to be a catch somewhere. Great vid and a nice explanation of install.

Removing the tires will make your install much easier and will also def need to remove the spare as well. Give us some feedback after your install.
@@EEExotic what size would u recommend for a 6 inch lift just to get the stock rake look
Any vibrations?
No,We include a carrier bearing drop kit in order to correct pinion angle.
@@EEExotic how thick are these washers that correct it
Do you make these for a 17 Tacoma?
Can I use these on a tundra that is already lifted 6”?
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.

Should the carrier bearing nuts be loosened a little since? lifting the rear is going to pull on the driveline.
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.
Do you build these for Gen 1 Tundras?
not at this time.
Hell of a production for a tutorial. I'd rather watch this for a couple hours than watch some Kylie Kardashian reality bullshit.
I can't find you on Facebook. Do have a website now?
shopcoachbuilder.com
at 7:01 the leaf spring is resting on the exhaust. will that be an issue?
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.
I'm interested in some shackles how do I contact you

Thank you, very basic yet straight forward :)

Any impact to steering linkage? Should I loosen up the steering linkage before install?
...steering? This is for rear shackles

Greg Hupka Beautiful shackles😂😂😂
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??
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.
do u think shackles r better than blocks??
Yes, Absolutely.
The shackles are far,far superior to a block lift. David is a true craftsman.
so, don't you have to add shackles to both ends of the leaf spring? wont it be off kilter if you just alter the one end?
Hell yes it would be off kilter..what do you think
do shackle help lift the back of the suv 4runner I'm lost 1/2 inch cause I put aftermarket rear coil so if I use a shackle can that help bring my suv rear back up
