Default Spring shackles

I have my truck completely apart and I am starting on the frame/suspension first. I would like to replace the front and rear spring shackles, I looked at mac's catalog and it appears their shackles have a nyloc nut instead of a castle nut. Does anybody make a correct shackle lot or should I just get the ones from macs?

Half ton. Should I go with original style or the Pete and Jakes style with the rubber/plastic bushings? Does not matter to me as this is a go truck, not for show.
