The DSE stuff is nice, but man is it pricey.

I like this setup, cheaper and it ties rear frame rails together. It would cost around $20 for the tubing and tabs.



Another option/trick instead of using shackles you could use a pair of sliders. They help keep the spring rate the same during launch. With shackles, the leaf is going through its distortion which effects the rate a little. They are worth some et in the 60'. There are two styles, one of which is the stock spring eyelet. The other is the mopar eyelet, which is shared with the calvert split monos.
