Don't you think the million of companies and not to mention dealerships would have already thought of this one to save on money. I mean, why would GM put these pieces on trucks if they didn't really need them. I don't think they meant for the leafs to bolt from hanger to hanger without a shackle to allow for flexing/movement.

Ok, so technically your truck is made by DODGE/CHRYSLER, but you still get the point. (I keep jumping from s-10 to dakota forums)

DONT DO IT!!! The spring changes length when sprung. The shackle pivots letting the spring shorten and or lengthen on bumps.
