I was thinking if you could make an attachment to those shackles? Steel that bolts to both of the holes and can continue as long as you want them, but i wouldnt recommend doing this at all.

Does anyone have measurements for these shackles eye to eye? RC told me 5" to the first, 6" to the second. That doesn't make sense. That equals to 1" lift/1.5" lift.
