It says on summit that you have to buy an aftermarket shackle for ss leafs... Why is that?
The front half of the spring is shorter on SS springs than on a factory spring. I can't remember how much, I think 2" is the difference.
62 to 65 do not need new front hangers springs bolt rite in thanks.Bob
62-63 B-body uses the same 20" front segment (same as a-body) from the factory. SS springs are a virtual bolt in for those cars.
The 64-65 will need a different front hangar for the SS springs.
The shackles do NOT need to be replaced.
It's always a good idea to use new rubbers on the rear shackles, though when installing new springs.
