I finally received my knafflized shackles (aka shackles built by CKnaffle at zr2.com) and I must say I'm impressed.

First impressions are always the most meaningful so here goes.

I ordered his 2" lift shackles. He used 1/4" plate steel to make these with a 2" box for the middle support. Very nice welds (mig?) The edge are nicely rounded and he painted them black. They look pretty sturdy and I think I'm going to be quite happy with them. I think they were a good investment (50.00) and they feel a helluva lot nicer than the crappy weak assed shackles that they sell in the autoparts store. I really would encourage anyone interested in lift shackles to consider knaffles. They are some damn good quality! I only write this because of how impressed I am with the product.

Here are a couple of pics...
