Does anyone know if front shackles off a k10 Suburban are the same as k20 shackles? I would think that the k20 would be heavier duty but maybe…?

Thanks!

They are the same.

Starting in '87 or '88 though, they grew in length by .5 inch.

So no problems interchanging them? For example, k10 shackles with k20 springs.
