Trying to determine if my front spring shackles are the cause of 0° caster on my '54 3b. I suspect that they are not stock, but need to know the on centers dimension of the bolt holes of originals. Mine are 2¾" on centers, so if they are wrong, I'll buy these as replacements. Thanks, Tom

Does this shackle increase the overall height of the jeep? If not, do you offer a taller shackle for a CJ3B?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
This is a stock shackle so it won't really give you an additional lift height on the Jeep. I don't really have a shackle that will do that. If you replace the old leaf springs it will give you about an inch to and inch and a half lift. Thanks

Will this fit without the rubber and metal fitting in the leaf spring opening and frame bracket opening? Or do I need those in addition to this shackle? I removed the rubber and metal fittings from the frame and springs trying to get the wrong shackle to fit.
Willys Tech:
This is a complete shackle. You dont need any other bushings other than what comes with this.
