broke a shackle
so i was wheeling on my friends trail, went over the rocks good, but the exit is dips and its a little rough so i heard a pop and bang...
So the previous days i have been hearing creeking coming from the passenger rear. I knew the shackles were iffy but i held off on replacing them.
anyways, got out of the trail and looked at the rear, the passenger side shackle is in two.
so my question is what kind of shackle should i replace it with? I have a 3in rough country lift. my wallet says autozone but i want it to last more than two or three trips down the trail.

get a set of these, beefiest I've seen. Actually have them on my jeep, seem to be pretty much indestructable.

then get some 1.5" spacers up front and move on up to 4.5
