G Shackles on a 60?

[HujSGory]

Anyone tried these 45.58US $ 14% OFF|H-TUNE 4x4 Suspension Spring Rear Comfort G-Shackles for land cruiser 76,78 & Most 79 Series - https://www.aliexpress.com/i/4000144877644.html ? a few videos on youtube on them, no clear conclusion as far as I can tell.

Has anyone given them a go?

Cheers

Mike

Is there a real source? I dunno if I would put an AliExpress part on a critical suspension component

Just looking at the listing photos — those suckers look thinner than the stock shackles, and you can be sure the steel they use isn’t as strong.
Personally — I’d never even consider them.

I'm sure if they had a OME sticker the steel would become stronger and thicker the moment the sticker was applied...

That's too many moving parts for me.

I’m partial to greasable pins. . .
What about the bushings, are they polyurethane or rubber?

Wow those look frail. No way would I try those on my rig. To give you a comparison check out this page of all brands of quality strong shackles.

Same concept as the Revolver Shackles. Stay clear. They will unload abruptly on a serious sidehill

those look janky and remind me of the wimpy/thin lift shackles that nearly every lifted 60 in Japan had...hard pass. And they are some sort of revolver shackle that just screams "I will break!!!" You will be better served spending the extra money on beefy anti-inversion units like Cruiserteq offers (Roonie's post). I have the same greaseable shackles, and they look great and don't make crazy clunking sounds when you go around a bend or make a turn.

AliExpress should tell you everything you need to know with regards to quality of goods. AliExpress one step below Amazon when it comes to sketchy and/or counterfeit products.
