Shackles for front and rear of 3rd gen

Looking for shackles does anyone know what size will fit on the front and rear on a third gen?

thanks

 

Shackles? For leaf springs? For the front?

 

What shackles? Leaf spring shackles? You only have shackles in the rear of your back springs

 

Depends on what plate bumper you have. Most aftermarket bumpers will use shackles with 3/4" pins. Stock bumpers have no place to mount a shackle.

 

There is a spot in the front on the passenger side and there is on on the rear

 

I wouldn't hang a shackle on those...

 

That loop on the front is not a recovery point FYI

 

Oh okay thanks guys

 

What is it actually for? Curious...

 

Tie down point for transport I believe is what the manual states

 

There's two things on the front. The one that's bolted onto the frame (its more like a hook than a loop) is what youre supposed to use for recovery in the front.

 

As mentioned dont hang a shackle from your stock truck. Not only will it look goofy and out of place but you will likely break something if you use tie down point or trailer chain loop for recovery

You can get this.

 

Gotta pay the ARB tax!

 

Shameless plug!

 

I think only off roads have the recovery hook.

 

Well shame on me for assuming I guess.

 

You could put a shackle on your receiver hitch.

OP, for the front people are selling their TRD Off Road hooks all the time for around $50. Bolts right up and you can loop a strap around it. Not meant for a shackle, but it's a proper recovery point.
