My SJ is on lift shackles from previous owner - I don't think they're necessary and as you all know they have various downfalls...
So where can I get standard shackles, or do I just do away with the shackles altogether?
Also, what do I need to watch out for when doing the switch?

Re: Dropping the SJ
You can't do away with shackles as they're the bit that allows the spring to flex. Swapping back to standard is easy, just two bolts.

Where might I get a set of standards?

I was just about to throw a set of standards in the scrap bin.
You can have them for the cost of postage if you like?...

My son's got a set you can have. If you go to Tong he can give them to you there.

Re: Dropping the SJ
They're quite small are standard shackles, hardly weigh a thing.
