Stock shackles brand recommendations?

solomon7 · Sep 4, 2018

So far I have these 3 as choices. Any iinput or recommendations for one over the others?

Dorman
Crown
Omix-Ada.

Dormans are the most $ but appear the same as the other brands fwiw. The only bushing I'll be using is the frame side one. My IRO kit's poly ones will remain in the spring eye.

I dont know anything on dorman really, but Ide go those over crown, omix, just because Ive read many unsatisfactory comments on the other two for various products. I have a 3.5 lift and Iron rock shackles that provide stock mounting holes and another hole for .75" lift I think, I used stock. They are pretty beefy and greasable. https://www.ironrockoffroad.com/product/xj-heavy-duty-adjustable-lift-shackle.html

Everything from Crown Automotive or Omix-Ada I have ordered either fit poorly, wore out quickly, or did both at once.

I've got 2 set of stock shackles that have poly bushing and are drilled with grease fittings.

Do those hang up at all running them at stock length? The other end doesn't catch or hit the shackle box?
