Thanks! Yeah the shackles are stock. I plan on reinforcing them when I get everything squared away. I dont like the angle of the shackles either. I was thinkin of moving it farward an inch, but redrilling holes is a PIA on that frame. I dont want to weld it, I want options of removing it later down the road. What do you think? Is it because my bed was lightened from removing the bumper, spare, etc??
