I've had my shackles on for about 3 weeks now.

My main question is the placement of the shackle. I wasn't sure on which way the plate is supposed to face... front or back.

SO... I installed one with the plate facing the front of the truck and one facing the rear so I only have to swap one around.

Which way is it supposed to face????

 

im not sure but mine are towards the rear and i have not had a problem with them yet (about a year)

 

both of my stock shackles had the plate facing the front of the truck. wouldn't you think that this is the way they should be placed?

 

I am curious as well!!!

 

i never noticed the stock set, but you have a good point

 

Talley,

My stock shackles were positioned with the plates toward the back...that's how I installed the drop shackles too.

 

That is the way I have mine.... right Talley?? All this talk has made me forget. Now I will have to look again. :o
