Does anyone have thier OEM shackles around after having gone to Aftermarket shackles? Its a wierd situation, but I need a set to go on my truck for a few days, I need mine off for
1) my buddy wants to make a CAD drawing of them and look at making some aftermarket ones....
2) powdercoat. :) I will have my lift by the end of the month, and my buddy wants to PC my shackles. lol. Seems ridiculous, but he wants to do it for free, so how can I say no?

If anyone does have a set of OEM shackles you are willing to let go of, or even can just do without for a week....Let me know, please!!
Thanks guys!!!

It might be easier and cheaper to just go get some ghetto autozone (or equivalent)extended shackles and use washers to make your own wide body spacers. Just make sure it is nice and tight and run it until he gives them back. You will be fine. It is a ghetto solution, but it works temporarily. Ask me how I know. :D
