Product Description

The Rugged Ridge 18265.02 is a pair of heavy-duty greasable leaf spring shackles designed for 1955-1975 Jeep CJ5 and CJ6 models. Built from heavy-duty steel with a machined center sleeve and Grade 5 hardware, these shackles replace the factory units with a significantly stronger alternative while providing approximately 1 inch of suspension lift. The greasable pivot bolts feature Zerk fittings that allow easy on-vehicle lubrication to prevent wear, corrosion, and squeaking over time - a notable advantage over standard non-greasable shackles.

Installation is a straightforward bolt-on process with no cutting, drilling, or frame modification required. Bushings are not included with this part number - existing or separately sourced bushings compatible with the CJ5/CJ6 leaf spring system are required to complete the installation. For CJ owners looking for a low-cost entry point into lift or a heavy-duty shackle upgrade, the 18265.02 delivers Rugged Ridge's proven build quality backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
