Daystar Greasable Tow Shackles

Daystar makes shackles that are greasable as well as shackles that are not able to be greased.  Their Super Shackles have been designed with the extreme off road warriors on mind though.  They have a design that is very rigid and this should make you rest assured that when you are on the trails or on the daily commute, you are driving with the most stable and strongest shackles that your money can buy.

Some of their shackles – the ones they call Rock Crushers – have been made specifically for use on rigs that spend a lot of time on the trails.  These shackles have been made from ¼ inch side plates that are heavy duty and they have bushings and bolts that are able to be greased.  They have a design that is easy to be bolted together.  These Rock Crusher shackles that are brought to you by the minds at Daystar allow for your Jeep’s springs to feely articulate which then allows for your tires to be able to get a better grip on the terrain – regardless of what that terrain is.  These shackles are great for use in towing applications and they are also a great replacement for your factory installed shackles.
