I've searched everywhere. On purenissan.com there is no where to 'buy' them. I suppose I can e-mail Calmini but from what people have said about their customer service I'd like to avoid them. Where would I buy them?!

ok, so lets say you buy these shackles. as part of a PML, what else is needed? AALs? and what for the front?

i'm not sure if you're asking me, but i plan to buy the shackles then crank my torsion bars.

Edit: Then of course, an alignment

TJ - Thanks!, i think i might buy those.

I'd avoid all Calmini products if possible. Go with 4x4parts.com (Automotive Customizers) or SLR (Spencer Low Racing).

yeah the calmini has problems with powder coat and sales but it is the only one that gives you the 1.5" stated on there website.... SLR and 4x4parts say 1.5" but they are only 1"......... correct

4x4parts changed the web description to actually SAY 3" over stock, to provide 1.5" of lift...for the PML Shackles/Shackles for the 3" Lift when AAL are added.

They also made the shackles longer to actually BE 3" over stock length....previously, the lengths they listed for them were the lengths over stock, not the amount of lift...but they advertised it AS the amount of lift, which was of course wrong.

Naturally, they STILL didn't correct the lift heights for ANY of the other shackles they list, including the Revolvers.

:D

The Calmini Shackles worked fine, but the blue colorforms they called "Powder Coat" came off quickly, and, the shackles are just end plates, with no cross brace, as the other options had.

so they finally changed the site...... eventhough the powdercoat is coming off they are still cheaper then buying from a company so with that said..... i guess i will have a set of shackles sitting in my garage untill someone is ready to buy......if anybody is interested then pm me.....
