I'm looking for minimal lift, just canceled a tomken 1/2" shackle Order due to a 4 week delay, I prefer rubber over urethane.
Is anyone here running the fat bob .75 shackle? Is it tin junk with recycled rubber garbage bushing? Waste of 60 bucks? Would I be better off ordering new oem mj shackles with supposedly less lift (good thing) for 110 bucks? I know the oem rubber is good stuff... The tomken shackles offer the best advertised lift height and probably the most beef for the buck but your stuck with crap urethane bushings...
I have yet to bend a shackle but my cut and fold bumper is coming and I will be ditching my factory hitch, landing on a shackle could be a possibility.
All in all I don't want to trash my current squeak free ride quality with too much lift/hard bushings and I don't want cheap garbage parts.
