Currently the front is sitting at 2" and the rear a bit higher, but I will be going 3" after I get the engine sorted. I need some bushes now due to clunking and banging so may as well get the arms and spread the cost out a bit so the missus doesn't get as upset. Eventually I'll probably be going hybrid arms and drop boxes on the front.Quote:

It should be mandatory to use them instead of steel shackles
Many different sizes as they are huge in the sailing world.
Our problem is why would you pay $30-$50 each when a rated metal shackle is below $20..
The only advantage the soft shackle has is the safety.

How many shackles do you have onboard that make the weight difference an advantage?Quote:

I've generally got 5-6 in there as well, a couple of snatch straps, a couple of extensions, a couple of tree protectors, etc. adds up.
I don't think you can put a price on safety, I will certainly be buying some.Quote:

All newbies and oldies should change their thinking and use these "soft shackles"
just imagine how many "accidents" could be avoided.
Nice pick up on the battery too Kallen 120AH oodles of power there my friend
Couldn't agree more mate but as you well know people these days look at the $$$ first and the quality.
I was going to do them. But I just don't think they would move. A few a year maybe.
I think the price I worked was $25 each for 16000 pound.
I doubt they'd move.
