Truck is a 2004 Ranger Edge 4x4

One of my rear shackles is completely gone and the other is not too far behind it. I'm definitely replacing both of them.

My options for replacement are as follows:
1.) Replace with Dorman replacement(part #722-001)
2.) Replace with Belltech 6400 shackles for 2" lift
3.) other?

Is there any other option out there that will hold up better than stock?

Does anybody have a pic of a truck with just the Belltech shackles? Preferably the same generation truck. I don't want too much forward rake. Or how about a shackle that only gives about 1" of lift. It looks like the belltech might be adjustable?

Thanks for the help guys.

Just an idea, not entirely sure how well this would work.... but if you replace the rear shackles with belltechs you might be able to get away with removing the stock blocks, which would give you better flex while maintaining the same ride height.

Belltechs have 2 place to run the bolt thru. Best option, because you have options. Depending on the hieght of your block, you could ditch the block and use the longer shackle mount.
