They look well built (I like the box design better than the standard H-pattern on other shackles). I dunno what other H3 shackles are using, but 3/8" seems extra beefy and wouldn't add too much weight. Just a thought... |

Re: Extended Shackles
They looked like that before. Those are brand new springs. I am going to add a leaf. I'll get some more info today on that.

Re: Extended Shackles
'cept these....
add 1500 lb to payload, (provided you have the HD Shocks) and they are adjustable. The springs are Progressive.
