Ouch! Looking at the debrie on the end of the top bolt were these greasable bolts?

They sure are greasable pins. I've read horror stories over the years about breaking pins, I guess it's my turn now.

Must be the season for it, OlYellr lost a leaf spring while going down the road!

Unfortunately I'm 60 miles from the house currently, might just be a slower ride home today.

Yeah, looks like once I limp it home I'm gonna park it for a bit.

I've got the Ironman anti-inversion version. Besides the anti-inversion feature I wonder if the extra (3rd) bolt helps prevent a shearing action from happening?

Yeah I was posting yesterday to hope nobody does what I did.

I like the Marks Off Road Shackels that @65swb45 sells. 5/8 grade 8 bolts that go all the way through. The others nexk down so far, they become the weak point.
