    Looking at these on Amazon,
    [​IMG]

    but some of the reviews say they don't fit right, or the hole for the pin is too far back..

    wondering if you guys know of a better option for one of these where I know it'll work before ordering it. thanks!

    I got one that one of the guys up here found at a shop near him. It's drilled both directions, so you can hang the shackle verticle or horizonal and it fits perfect.

    I think I bought a Smittybuilt one and it's perfect. Must not be the same model or something.
