putting my shackles on, relized that mine seem really fat where the leaf attaches to the shackles is it right? its not a tight squeeze like the stock one. it like sticks .5-1" away from leaf and there isnt much room for the bolt to get much threads on. did i get the wrong ones? they are chevy drop shackles, autozone brand ones, not beltech.

 

that does not sound right. my belltechs fit like a glove

 

Will the bolt fit in and not interfere?

Ranger4.0,
What Belltechs do you have? And how far does it raise the rear of the truck? Any picture? I would like to get some as I generally am hauling something and with cranked Tbars it rides to low in the rear.

 

my belltechs fit like a glove too

 

To the OP, get some pictures. It sounds like you either purchased the wrong shackles, or something weird is going on.

 

Definitely doesn't sound right... if they're the correct ones they should be pretty much the same width as the stock ones.

 

All fixed! autozone had two sizes and i got the fat mo fo ones, swapped them for the correct size ones and its all bolted up and running! pics tomorrow and i will alo be cranking my t-bars about 1"

 

Nice! Good to hear you got it worked out.

.....will be waiting on pics. Im buying some shackles as well
