grease fitting in shackle?

-Nathan- · Nov 21, 2009

So I got to thinking...I have a new pair of Belltech 6400's that Im going to put on my truck...any reason why I couldnt drill, tap, and put a grease nipple into the bushing (i.e. nipple in metal, with hole through rubber) ?? Then I could just give it a pump or two when I do the others. Just a thought...opinions?

Why not just buy greasable shackle bolts?

Those bolts are expensive.

The shackles I have on my truxk have a zerc fitting at the bushing.

I have made them on a lathe at school, for the cost of the bolts/fittings and my drill press at home but it’s a little harder.
