1972-1980 Scout 2, Traveler, and Terra STOCK spring shackles: These are CNC laser cut to our unique “Dumbbell” design. They mimic the original including the flange that allows you to bolt up your stock sway bar between them. They are constructed using 3/8” A-50 hardened  USA steel plate. The holes are laser cut undersize and then finish machined on our mill to exacting tolerances. There is little to no bolt slop to insure the tightest suspension for the best ride possible. The shackles are fixture welded, cleaned and ready for finishing. The set includes 4 shackles. The center to center hole measurement is 3”. Meaning it's a stock length shackles. Bolt and spring bushing kits available below under related products.
We feel the extra steps mentioned give our product the thumbs up when you want the best for your Scout 2.

All Shackle Sets will come raw steel with a little bit of brush down and weld bb removal. Final sanding and deburing the edge to accept paint will be up to the purchaser. While we painted them for 20 years, its just impossible to paint them 1-2 sets at a time and seeing as how we no longer have a full time welder thats only job is this and a few products where he could setup and paint 5-10 sets at a time making it feasable time wise, i just can not spend 3--40 minutes painting a set when I could be working on a customer rig for the hourly shop rate. Its all about making a living and survival. Rising rent cost, operationg expenses, permits, and fees have forced us to really take a close look at how our time is best spent.  Besides i need extra time to bring all the new products to market that i have been designing over the past 20 years :).  Thanks for understanding.
