    Hey I have a question about whether I should replace my leaf spring shackles or if I can re use them.

    I'm planning on replacing my old leafs with a pair of lightly used oem leafs I got off marketplace as well as upgrading both rear shocks to Bilstein 5100s, I dont plan on adding an add a leaf or block right now so the rear will be at stock height, but might add it later in the year.

    I don't do any offroading besides the ocasional backroad camping trips.

    So would I be able to re use the shackles and hardware? or should I replace them?

    Thanks

    Those look pretty roached. I'd replace those and all the hardware.

    I have some lowwww mileage 3g takeoffs I can send your way for cheaps (05-23 hardware is the same for this). I also have 3g leaf packs and new ubolts too if you wanted, but shipping leaves is ridiculously priced. Shoot me a PM if interested.

    As long as you're going to have them off, I'd replace them.

    They’re cheap. Replace them.
