Default Got the shackles on!

Just thought I would do a quick post showing off the lastest addition to the blazer! I ordered a set of lift shackles from 3 Leaf Fab. Put em on yesterday, and got some pics!

Here's the blazer pre-shackle


And post-shackle!


And the shackle itself:


No issues with the shackles at all, I ordered them over the weekend, so I'm guessing they shipped out Monday, and I got em in Wednesday afternoon! They answered every question I had, and I'm very pleased with the quality of their shackles.

The only issue putting them on was when I sprayed some WD-40 on the bushings and jackets, and I swelled up the bushing [:@]. Took some finessing with a c-clamp to get the bolt through...needless to say I didn't WD-40 the other side till AFTER the bolt was in.
