Really? You can't drop $40 on something safe?
The shackle goes on the inside of the relocation bracket.

If you intend on making shackles use some thick steel and brace it. Other wise spend the $ on shackels

Isn't the point if a forum to help people? Rather than **** talkin a guy that is building stuff in his garage. I've had lots of help so far but some people need to get off the computer and go do somethin productive.

We are trying to help you. Just buy shackles, they are cheap. Look at all three of our jeeps. Then tell us to get off the computer.
