Hey Guys,
Im going to do the shackles, but which ones should i buy?? Everywhere i look they're around $50. However, everything i read on here say's that price is a rip off?? Anyone know someone who will make them for me? Or where a can get some?

Thumbs up
The 3leaf shackles for $50 are a good deal. You can barely buy 1/4 thick steel, Cutting blades, Bolts, And make them yourself for that price anymore. But there are always these shackles, That remind me more of a erector set.

lol i always get a kick outta those shackles...they are such a joke compared to even the factory shackles...they look as if they would just buckle sideways. though i have heard of people using them with success.

Just bought my 2" shackles from 3leaf a few hours ago. My buddy Ryan bought 3" for his ZR2 yesterday.
