Airlift bumper side shackle options

[Icecold1]

So i picked up a airlift bumper,then some shackles the longer u shaped ones for the bumper ends,but they apparently have more than one size.

anyone know where to get the wider 3" Id shackles? Or should i just cut them in the bottom of the u and add a piece and weld them back together? It is not like I'm ever going to use them they are mostly just for looks and filling the holes.

the only other option appears to grind off the sleeves thru the bumper until they are close to flush with the bumper.

so what would you do?

It takes the same shackles as on the front or rear bumpers. Typically beltfed has some on epay or try Greg 86humv

So the longer ones are not the correct ones? Maybe when i pull the set off the back if the truck they will fit?

for some reason i thought the longer ones were more authentic?

thanks

Yes, Your rear set will fit.

Not to my knowledge on the longer ones, There is an epay vendor that pedals them but he has a lot of "aftermarket" stuff. Reason they are the same is for continuity I suspect.
