Dorman 722-029 Rear Rearward Leaf Spring Shackle Compatible with Select Chevrolet / GMC Models

Didn't have an issue, great quality and all bolts included so I would buy again if needed. Buy the hanger to replace as well. Good for another 15 years.

Just as good as original and a lot cheaper too. Had to do some holding my mouth right getting the old off but the new one fit perfect.

Fixed my spring like new again!!!

Perfect fit on my gmc

I recently replaced both of my leaf spring shackles on my 2006 Silverado. It was a terrible job removing the old parts. I ordered these shackles as they are very affordable and pretty good quality. The only thing about this product that seemed of lower quality was the threads on a couple of the bolts didn't quite jive with the nuts. They tightened down, but the nuts were shaving part of the threads off of the bolts. I had small metal shavings that came off of the threads of one of the bolts as I tightened it. They tightened down fine beyond that. (As a side note) I realized quickly that there is no room to press in the old style replacement bushings into the rear leaf springs. The fender is to close to put a C- clamp in there to press them in. I ordered the "Energy Suspension 3.2141G Rear Leaf Spring Set". It is comprised of two polyurethane bushing half pieces with a slide in metal sleeve. (The kit actually comes with all the bushings needed to replace the whole leaf spring.) It made replacing bushings a piece of cake. They are expensive, but well worth it to get the job done and over with. I also replaced the shackles on the truck with the bolts put in from the outside (nuts inward). Makes the job much simpler. There will be threads that come out past the nut (when completely tightened down) where the leaf spring attaches to the upper shackle. The threads will wedge against the holder. Just cut off the excess threads that stick out past the nut with a carbide grit sawzall blade. I hope my experience helps those of you out there tackling this job.

I would recommend this. If you live in the rust belt good luck. I had to cut the old one off and then use a ball joint press and an impact wrench to press out the bushing and the new one in, and used a sawzall to cut the metal bushing. I tried to use an air hammer and a few other tools along with a torch and had no luck.

Fit perfect, not the easiest process installing them but it's exactly what I was looking for.

Easy to install took about two hours and three beers. Did right last year and left this year. For price I should have done both. Did know how easy it was. Better with two people to install bolt and lower jack but did it myself.

Although it is a tough job to change these, at least you know that with Dorman you are getting a quality part that fits. Highly recommend.

Perfect fit, great 10.9 hardware, easy install.

Used to replace rusty factory parts on 2006 Chevy silverado

I noticed I had a right broken spring shackle on my Silverado, and figured I better replace the left side as well. I ordered 2 and attempted to remove the old busted up ones from the truck. Holy @#$%! What a PITA to remove the old ones. Just a heads up, the leaf spring bushing is usually seized solid to the bolts, the only way to get a new GM one is to order the entire leaf spring assembly. The aftermarket bushing is made by Dayton and the part number is RB-172 which fits the rear eye of the leaf spring. I applied anti-seize to the shaft of the spring shackle bolts, hopefully I will never have to go through that process again😌 The spring shackle is far superior to the factory one. I'm happy.

Great Price and perfect fit. Thanks
