    really? they come with a phatty gussett. Who bent them? Theres some race teams running them with no issues.
    I was planning on adding some angle iron on the outside and cut off round tube around the bolt ends later down the road when my truck is more capable. But for a ball joint kits capabilities they'll be plenty strong.

    Nelson18matt and jberry813 both bent giant shackles I mean they will work don't get me wrong but they will probably bend eventually. Gonna start doing some fab work out of a friends shop soon and one of the things I plan on is 12" tube shackles as a lot of people want to run them but don't wanna spend so much for tc shackles

    had a blast this weekend chasing around trophy trucks and prerunning the 56 mile course on the bikes and in the yota. We pitted for the total chaos blue and yellow truck driven by mike koenig.

    THAT'S what they were for... and explains why I threw them away cause my sensors didn't wanna come out of my old spindles so I was rollin without ABS for several months. I finally bit the bullet and bought new sensors and put them in before snow hit so I'm back to the blinking ABS light instead of the solid one haha.
