Trailers are for Boats
Next was to install some ORD Super Shackles front/rear. When my old shackles really articulated, they rubbed the shackle flip brackets - the ORD shackles have more clearance and they now sell them with the Kevlar bushings which I hope will last longer and are easy to grease with the greasable bolt.
Up front, they'll be a lot stronger than the factory GM shackles (which are designed for tension, not compression):
Since Skyjacker is a sponsor, I snagged some shocks and swapped them out for my Bilsteins. They're firmer valved on compression than the Bilsteins so we'll see how they feel with the truck loaded down - hoping for even better control.
And the last piece of maintenance (aside from the front wheel bearings) I did was replace the radiator/coolant hoses as they were looking fairly weathered.
Oh and don't forget this bad boy :D
