ive been using those shackles from advanced for a little over a year now and they work great and its made out of the same stuff as the expensive shackles except its generic brand. u would not be disappointed with them at all plus you cant beat 34 bucks for them to

Dude neither! I'm sorry but everyone here is out of their minds!!!!! You should be ashamed of your selfs! joking joking lol.
I have that 3" shackle and didn't use it! If you want pay shipped they are brand new and yours if you want for the cost of shipping lol!

Go to a junkyard or sreach CL! Buy s10 or dakota or isuzu rodeo leafs..depending on what leafs you use, you can get 4.5" out of them! they will last you a life time & it will be done right! Its called bastard leafs & exactly what I did. I'm at 3" S10 main and a 3" rusty Hd coil spring. Using Jk shocks..I love my jeep she rides no nicely and everything cost under 200!
Soon to have Zj steering, and already upgrade to rancho 9k adjsutables in the rear!
I know at our junkyard and you can 2 full sets of leafs for 20 each! Thats basically 20 a side!
