help with shackles
hello,
im looking into making my own lift shackles, i have the fabrication skills to do i just need help on the i.d. and o.d. of the round tube on top of the shackles that the bushing goes into. i plan on buying new bushings i just need to know what size tube i need to make for them to fit.

buy the bushings then buy your bolts and then just go with the best fit.... go to a steel supply place and compare your bolt to a few different tubes (thickness' and diameter)
