Greasable shackle pins

[6DSimith]

Do greasable shackle pins really make a big difference, or not? Is it just a nice up grade, or what's the deal? Do many people just drill and tap the factory pins, and make their own greasable pins?

I'm thinking of putting on anti-inversion shackles when I put on my rough country lift kit. Just wanted some opinions on the pins and the benefits of anti-inversion shackles.
Cheers

greaseable pins and shackles are a cool idea but in reality a waste of money.
you look at how long the nylon bushings last and how long the factory rubber last and you get the idea.
i use them because they are part of the kit. i would not spend coin just for the greaseable pins and shackles.
you need the greaseable units to go with the nylon bushings otherwise the bushing wear out very quickly.

It seems like it would be possible, they can't be that hard 30-40 Rc I would think.Any luck drilling and tapping for a grease fitting? No money wasted then.
