Replaced the front spring shackles.
When I put the Skyjacker springs on I bought greasable shackle pins. A few months later Claudia had one of her greasable pins break out on the trail and I discovered that they were not the best choice.
They looked better than the 1971 vintage factory ones tho
The one pin has significant wear only a few years later - this is some seriously kr$ppy steel
1/3 has been worn off and this was going to break sometime soon (and probably at high speed or far into the boonies )
Got some new solid pin shackles from Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters Cruiser Outfitters
