Some of the hardware shops they have rated shakles also but u need th check the rating its written on it for big toys u need minimum (3/4), Be ware that the big shakles cannot fit it in the towing lug cuz the pin diameter will be bigger than the hole in the lug, I recommend to check the shakle with your car towing lugJax wrote:Hi Mrs FJ and welcome to AD4x4!
Please check your messages as I've sent you a pm re shopping!
Bulldozer - called in at ARB today and they only had one large shackle left, which I got. Only small ones in stock - not sure when they are getting more in.
