Replace a fatigued or rusted rear shackle with the Dorman leaf spring shackle, part number 722-030. This rear shackle kit is built from sturdy steel with a powder-coated finish to resist corrosion. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2001-2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2001-2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD.

The shackle links the rearward end of the leaf spring to the frame hanger. It swings as the spring flexes, so the spring's length can change as it compresses and extends. This Dorman leaf spring shackle kit is intended to replace worn or corroded shackles before they become a safety concern. It installs as a direct replacement for the stock shackle at the rear, rearward position.
