I have looked all over the place for a 2" shackle and the biggest I have seen is a 1.75". Does anybody know who makes one? Thanks.

RK has a boomerang with holes for 1.5 and 2.5" It's spendy but I bet you can find it cheaper.

Ruffstuff Specialties makes a 2" wide shackle, all of our shackles are 2" wide and .375" thick, and with a 4", 5" & 6" length option you can get what you want.....Cheap too, made in the US:sunshine:

Rough Country has a 2 inch. It actually has holes for 1 1/2" or 2". I wheel quite a bit and I know everyone knocks R.C. product but it has held up really well.

yeah, the RoughCountrys are about the cheapest 2" shackles (around $50 on ebay) that I've been able to find. I have pretty well decided thats the route I'm going, but I've just been holding off cause I wanted to hear how they've performed from people who've used them.

I am doing a BB. My rear has sagged down a good bit and I was going to use a 1.5" spacer and 2" shackle to get it to ride level. That is why I would prefer a 2" over a 1.75"

Like I said earlier in this thread, I'm using the 2" RC's and they work great. Just make sure your leaf pack isn't as worn out as mine was. The longer shackles inverted my leafs after a few trails and a few weeks. So then of course I upgraded my leafs and the shackles work great.
