Go with the shackle your leafs will thank you trust me. Even if you do not make it greaseable (which should not be hard) Use them. I had a set just like them and no grease fitting and the bushings did just fine for well over 100,000 miles. But if you do put the fitting in make sure it has the right bushing or the fitting will just push the grease out the sides. The bushing splits in the middle and has little spaces for the grease to get in the middle or you could put a hole in the bushing that will help the grease go to the center also. Good Luck

No flip it and do it on the bottom of the bushings between the standoffs that way it is protected from damage and rocks.

Yeah near the tape line inside the protection of the steel on the sides. That is where I would put it plus it will be out of the way and east to get to. Keep the pics coming I have the same shackles and I am thinking of doing this as well.
