Velvet ride shackles
Has anyone tried these which have a torsion rubber insert to see if they improve the empty ride? They may not even have them for our first generation trucks. If they are available and if they work, they would be a cheap fix. We have torsoion rubber axles on a trailer we own and it is a great improvement from those without any springs.

I think if you use the 1/2 ton listing it might work, they list them by spring width and the listing for 77 and up 1/2 tons is a 2.5 in spring...just thinkin out loud.

These won't be available till may. I called drivetrain specialties and they said that there shackles wouldn't work on our trucks. She wasn't clear why not.
I still think the 1/2 ton units will work.
