You must have gotten them from Early Classic Enterprises. They still sell the shackles for the rear, but only offer the 1 1/2 inch ones. They used to offer a 2" one, but if you installed it in a wood bed...it would hit just like you said. The 1 1/2" one works on both. This isn't first hand experience, but I recall it being posted a couple of years ago. I am going to flip mine when I get a chance to do spindles up front.
