Review on Omix Ada 18270 15 Shackle by Andre Motko

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Disappointing. for towing food and winches

From the photos in the listing it is unclear whether the shackles will be galvanized or painted. The ones I received are stained and the paint was already peeling off when I took them out of the box. The bolts included in the kit are not marked with a class (5 or 8), just a mark ("COMET") on the head, so it's not clear what class it is. The latch arm is also shorter than the original (1 7/8" instead of 2 1/8"), allowing the shackle to ride on the threads on one side. I had no intention of using the jacks that came with it. (because I already have a set of sleeveless urethane bushings I'm installing) but they don't look good either. The holes on one end are off-center and the metal finish looks like sand cast. ordered an equivalent Crown Automotive part (J0916646) hoping it would be better.
