89 pickup leaf springs
Howdy, I was looking into getting a pair of greasable shackle kits for my 89 toyota pickup 4cyl 2gen bodystyle, the site says 79-88 pickup and 89 4runner, does anyone know if they will fit?
Also, I would like to get about 2 more inches of lift out of the rear so would a 5", 5.5",6" do that for me?
Thanks everyone

I bought longer shackles to get the "butt sag" out of my '88 4Runner. The guy at Marlin Crawler said every inch of shackle, longer than stock, will give a half inch of lift. I don't remember the length I bought, but it was one inch longer than stock and I got a half inch lift. The truck looks and rides just fine now.
So, I'd say measure your current shackle length and do the above figuring for your desired results.

quoted from TG site:
"Narrow rear shackles fit 79-88 Pickups and 84-89 4Runners. Wide rear shackles fit 89-95 Pickups."
so im guessin its the spring hanger width thats the difference between teh 2??
