These shackles seem to be of good quality. I like the rubber pieces that help reduce rattling and the locking clips that keep the pins from loosening! The decisive factor for the purchase is the orange powder coating. I'm unfamiliar with powder coating qualities, but none of the products we paint in my work have ever complained about color fastness when exposed to sunlight. They were installed on my car's front bumper in just a few months. before they start to disappear. In the attached image you can see that the left strut is in its original color (shadow side), while the right strut looks clearly faded. I put them on top of the orange t-shirt for comparison. You can see that the pins also had the same fading where they were exposed. I'll paint them back to their original orange, but you should also plan to do the same in a few months. I'm hoping the manufacturer will review the powder coating used to make it more UV resistant.
