looks like you had more responses over on the 4x4 section than here.You had you answer almost 7 hrs over there before posting here.Don`t get mad,I just got amused,that`s all.I buy new shackles like Old 4x4 suggested.They`re like $10+/-.I`ve never done springs where the shackle bolts weren`t all gaulled into the bushing.It`s stamdard procedure to get those when I get springs,along with new grade-8 hardware.If you go with the other suggestion,ORD greaseables,that would eliminate the gaulling problem in the future and keep them functioning as designed.With the factory shackles,I slop the shackle bolts up with anti-seize to help keep them from freezing/binding up.
