JT Shackles

[akarilo]

I added some +1" Tri Shackles from JT Outfitters and love them. They are the non-greasers for $20 a piece. The material and build quality is excellent for the money and the customer service is excellent as well. The finishing touch to the AAL and shock hoop/ Ranch-Ho setup. I think I am going to hit Hogans this weekend in Disney OK. Hopfully I'll get some good pics.

is that your burnout in the road?

Lookin' good. One question however, why is the anti-inversion pin in the center of the shackle? Isn't it supposed to be biased towards the top side?

 

[akarilo]

Apparantly JT makes them in a triangle configuration, which I like. It ensures that the shackle movement will not be limited by the the "anti" pin. I am not really concerned with inverting anyway, I mainly went with a tri for the added strength when a full articulation.

Can't wait to hear how they perform (and pics ofcourse) I may be following in your footsteps for my upcoming lift.

I don't think so, they look like 2.5 or 3 inch maximun. I am worng?

I have an extra set of those shackles, all 4 of them measure 4 inches center to center.

yea those are the first ones I have seen without a bias, that seem to be an equalateral triangle, i guess that would just allow the spring to invert more until the "pin" hits the frame and limits it.
