CFMi Front HD Shackle Plates — Squarebody Chevy & GMC 4x4 (1973–1987)
Beef up your front leaf spring shackles — heavy-duty plates that replace the weak factory pieces.
These are the CFM Industries front HD shackle plates, built for 1973–1987 Squarebody Chevy and GMC K-series 4x4 trucks, K5 Blazers, and GMC Jimmys. The factory front shackle plates on a leaf-sprung Squarebody are a known weak point — they bend and flex under hard use. These replace them with heavy-duty plates that hold up to the abuse of real off-road wheeling.
It's a simple, affordable upgrade that strengthens a part most people don't think about until it fails. If you're wheeling your truck or building out your front suspension, this is cheap insurance for your front end.
