So I was thinking about using some offset shackles to make up the difference in the spring width for my new front axle. I found some that bluetorch fab has, but was wondering if you guys had any other sources or new of a better place to get them. Not that they aren't good just looking for options. There are some that are for going to wider springs, but I thought if I turned them the same direction it would make the width a little wider.

Offset shackles are quite common in the front of Toyota trucks/4runners using Dana axles. I have been running them for a few years without issues. If you would like I could snap a pic of them tomorrow...

perfect link. I knew I had seen them somewhere else and that was the one I was looking for.

Do you run one straight shackle and one bent on each side with a spacer or run two bent without spacer? A pic would be great.
