APOC Truck Shackles | Lowering & Lift Shackles for F-150, Ram & Chevy

APOC Shackles for Trucks: Complete Guide to Our Lowering & Lift Options

Shackles are one of the simplest yet most effective ways to change the ride height and stance of a leaf-spring truck. At APOC Industries, we manufacture a full range of heavy-duty shackles — from popular rear lowering kits for the Ford F-150 to lift and flip kits for Ram and Chevy trucks — all built in the USA with thicker steel and better bushings than stock or most competitors.

Why Upgrade to APOC Shackles?

Factory shackles are designed for stock height and everyday driving. When you want to lower for a cleaner look or lift for more clearance, quality aftermarket shackles make a big difference in strength, adjustability, and longevity.

APOC advantages include:

¼-inch thick steel construction (stronger than most competitors)
Premium PTMEG polyurethane bushings with lifetime warranty
Greaseable zerk fittings on many models
Multiple drop/lift options for fine-tuning stance
Powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance
Bolt-on designs with clear instructions

Lift Shackles & Shackle Flip Kits

For owners who want more rear height instead of a drop, APOC offers lift shackles and shackle flip kits:

2004–2014 Ford F-150 1" Lift Shackles – Simple way to raise the rear for a more aggressive or leveled look when the front is lifted.
1994–2002 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 4x4 Shackle Flip Kit – Relocates the leaf spring mounting points to create significant lift (up to ~6") while maintaining good ride characteristics.

These kits are ideal when you want more ground clearance or to correct stance after a front lift.

How Shackles Work (Quick Recap)

The rear shackle connects the leaf spring to the frame and allows the spring to lengthen and shorten as it flexes.

Shorter / offset lowering shackles raise the spring mounting point relative to the frame → the truck sits lower.
Longer or flipped shackles do the opposite → more height.

Because the change is at the mounting point, spring rate and overall ride quality stay very close to stock with mild 1–2" changes.
