Carli Suspension CS-DSHACKLE-0313 Leaf Spring Shackle for 2003-2025 Dodge / Ram 2500 / 3500 4x4

Much of the jarring ride of the leaf-sprung rear can be attributed to the factory vulcanized bushings in the leaf spring pack and shackle. The factory shackle is very strong BUT the design is not conducive to a smooth ride. This is no surprise as these trucks were not made to ride well, they're made to tow. Vulcanized bushings are a press-fit bushing often utilized by OEMs in which the bushing material is adhered on both points of contact. In this case the black busing material you see above (installed into the factory shackle) is adhered to both the shackle itself and the crush sleeve the bolt goes through. The crush sleeve (silver sleeve that runs the length of the bushing) is very thick making the actual bushing very thin. When your bushing is designed to only move as much as it can deflect and the deflection is minimal, the ride will suffer.
