I cant find a store that carries heavy duty shackles the only place that i have found is 4wpts and I was hoping to find something a little cheaper than 2o bucks each anyone know where to buy them?? Thnks /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif /forums/images/graemlins/usaflag.gif
 
stop looking, if you aren't willing to spend $20 on quality parts you need to think about what you are building. I have ORD shackles. $89 with bushings and bolts. www.offroaddesign.com definetally beefy, beefier bolts to, greasable as well.
 
I think he's talking about D-shackles(clevises) for recovery purposes. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Check out the local TSC or mom-n-pop tractor store, they usually have them. The 4WPW here sells them for 15 bones.

hahah, sorry, K5 has been off the trails and pits for so long I haven't had to think recovery just suspension /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif, damn web wheelers... /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif
 
I just called up tractor supply and they said they had some " farm shackles" but she didnt know the strength of them so I might just go and check them out tomorrow. Thanks to all. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Head on out to Callahans(off of 183, just north of 71). Call 'em first to see if they have the screw pins types, though, they usually don't...
 
The local 6 points hardware store has them near me. The raiting is stamped right on them. 3/4" = 6.5T WLL <- 6.5 ton working load limit.
 
suspension shackles are cheap under $20cdn to have them made to order from any Ironworks
the bushing price I have no clue
 
I made my suspension shackles from a piece of 3/8" plate. Cost me about $12 for steel and a 1/2" drill bit.
