DJM vs BELLTECH Shackles
So I have had a set of Ground Force Shackles on my truck for about 7yrs now and the bushings have rotted out and are causing me to bottom out on right turns and large bumps so I have to change them. I'm between DJM and BELLTECH. The largest difference that I can tell is the DJM use poly bushing and the BELLTECH use more traditional rubber bushings. I've had issues with the rubber bushings on these shackles squeaking and now they're deteriorated. So I'm a little hesitant to go back with rubber bushings but they do provide a smoother ride and, even though mine did, are not supposed to squeak. I know that poly bushings have a reputation for squeaking but wont deteriorate and the rides a little stiffer. Any advice?

I thought about that but figured it would be less trouble to replace the entire shackle. Besides I don't know what condition the shackle themselves are in and wont know until I get them off. I think they'll probably be fine but factoring in the cost and labor it just seemed more logical to change both shackles.
