Yes, finished the shackles and got all the dims for the rockers and shafts.

 

I got the plates cut out. I'm going to have the machine shop drill the holes for me since I really don't feel like drilling 16 9/16 holes in 3/8 plate. Then I will round off the corners.

 

Mcruff, How goes the shackles? I want a set also. What are you looking at for lead time and cost? By the way they look great !!!

 

They look Awesome!

 

I will take 2 each sets please!

 

To the guys that want these please PM me. I will give you the details and price. I am making another 4 sets this next weekend. I pickup material tomorrow am on the way home from work.

 

Mike, those look great!

I wish I needed a set but I've got two sets of confers. . . .

 

I am interested/need some stock shackles for a early CJ, if someone is removing some.

Nice fixture, from the mill pattern i assume your contouring and pocketing these on a CNC?

 

Yes I am. I saw them off and drill the holes on my mill, stay over on friday mornings at work and use the CNC to pocket them and cut the rad.

 

Are you still making the shackles. Look great I'm looking for a set for my 75. If you are what's the price on a set of 4. Kirklin762002@yahoo.com is my email thanks Brent

 

MCRUFF - Are you still making the shackles?

 

Send him a PM
He does great work at a very reasonable price.

 

That is also what I used to make the ones on my B. Welded a "T" in the middle with the same material. If you have a decent drill press, they are absolutely simple to make. Just have to make sure everything stays square when welding them up. Confer was the inspiration to make mine. Ordered a set of Confer's and they were decidedly trapezoidal- to the point they weren't usable. Personally, I don't want the extra flex from a 2 piece design-torquing the bolts in shear at an angle just doesn't seem like a long lasting engineering solution.

I've run that same set of shackles now for 39 years. Guess they passed the test.

 

i would buy a set if you make them longer for a lift ... can you make me a set of shackle brackets so i can weld them to fit yj springs ? ill pay you paypal if you have it shipping tax whatever lol ..i need to raise my cj 1966 dont want to use stock small ones

Mcruff,

A long those lines I was wondering if you could make these?

They are spacer blocks that go between the frame and bumpstop that came on farm jeeps with front frame mounted weight or somthing like that.
I find they make so the bump stops hit before taller tires hit the fender.
I got this pair off ebay and have never seen another set. I'd like a set for the rear too.
