Dr Z Shackle Relocation Brackets?
Has anyone tried these shackle relocating brackets ? I found them on eBay. Here's the item number,,, 323185613684 . I think they look really strong. They are 1" lift. Come untainted with the hardware, $135 shipped.

This is usually the go to around here. Have no experience with what you linked but have used the standard bolt on brackets from HD and they are good.

I like the better, I mean, look, one big solid chunk ! Looks a lot stronger, plus easier to install and $10 bucks cheaper !
Installed, 1" lift.
They come unpainted.

ehh i'm still going with hdoffroad. $10 discount isnt really worth the "gamble" of trying a new product when theres a suberbly viable one already tested by many.

Three bolts attached to the original pockets. Assuming that your pockets are in good shape ? My pockets are in excellent condition , no rust. I just like this better than having to drill up through the floor. Not trying plug for them or bash anyone. Just trying to see if anyone else has used them ?

I also saw some others that were built similar to these, but the part that inserts into to pocket was pointed, like a triangle, with only 1 bolt if I remember correctly. I'll check out the ones you mentioned .
