I don't like them, better off to go with a longer straight shackle that has the cross brace welded in.

quote right from the site....sems like a good idea..

When using super soft springs in the front of the Super Dutys & Excursion, the shackle cross bar has a tendency to hit the frame on compression. These new shackles are made of 3/8" plate so they need no cross bar. These shackles are 1" longer and shaped like a boomerang so they do not hit the body mount.

Without the cross bar you'll get more side-to-side movement.
