Those look pretty sweet..... good idea
I'm curious too

Anyone running these shackles?
 

To me they look cheap.. They look like a nut welded to a bushing.

Hey there's a grease fitting on there too.

I would be interested if instead of threading into the shackle, there was a second nut on top. That way you could adjust it without removing anything.

They look very cheap to me as well. I'm not sure I'd trust those.

i'd run em. i've seen some pretty ghetto fab shackles last a long time. these actually don't look too bad. as long as the all thread is heat treated.

What do normal shackles run? $40? Get regular stuff and be money ahead.

And these are pretty pricey. Just the first ones I saw.

You can get them for about 40 on amazon.

I would not run them, even if they were a free gift. Same with their control arms. On the shackles, there is a thin weld that is holding the jeep together (the weld that connects nut to U-shaped portion of shackle).

I agree that the weld looks pretty thin. This is making me think about ideas for fully adjustable shackles without removing the leaf springs though.

Yup. I agree with this. Just get the proper sized shackles. It's not like you're going to be able to run separate height on each side. And 5" of lift via shackle. See how tiny that U portion looks. And don't get me started about a jamb nut. That nut loosens even the slightest bit, the pressure can shear those threads and its bye bye shackles.

I just noticed that the welds for the nut to the bushing are not the same on those two in the image. The one on the top looks much weaker.

You want pricey shackles? Look at teraflex revolver shackles. Expensive but worth it in my book

I thought those had a tendency to unload on hard braking/descents? Pretty sure I remember reading that before.
