Whoa :eek: those are shorter than what you had before??

Those look scary long. Get some OME greaseable anti inversion shackles.
 
make some cheap.

get yourself some steel and a drill
 
Why don't you just make your own following Mark Whatleys article in the Trails. They are cheap and worthy.

X2. I made my own, and it was really pretty easy. 3/8" x 2" steel + 5/8" drill bit + 5/8" bolt and nut = cheap and STURDY shackles. It would have been much easier to use a drill press, but all I had was a hand drill. It took a little longer, but it was still really easy. Besides, if you make your own, you can make them exactly how long you want them. I went to the local steel place and had them cut 6" pieces of 3/8" X 2 ". All I had to do was drill the holes and buy the bolts.

Good luck! :cheers:
 
thanks for the help. the reason I was not makeing my own is that the steel shops around here are chargeing a ton for steel.
 
probably alot cheaper than buying premade ones?


go look in their scrap basket theyll have some cheap
