FYI, don't buy the 'off shore' shackles. Appears this is a 'known' problem? http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/brokenshackles.htm

I had a set or rear shackles do exactly that. They even looked the same. Maybe we both had faulty shackles from the same supplier. They certainly made for interesting handling while towing!
