Here's a pic of mine. Sorry its so crappy, I chopped and blew it up so you could see it better. Go look at Spider Trax and Blue Torch Fab and they should have some pics of their shackles.

Loose money :confused:

Nah, army pilots don't know how to fly, they only hover :p . I'm a P-3 pilot, I'll stick with that. :flipoff2:

I got my spring pack from Spider Trax, but other places make them too. I've heard of people planning on using the chevy springs, but never heard how they turned out. You're in Gresham, feel free to stop by and take a look at mine anytime, I'm just across the Glenn Jackson bridge off Mill Plain.
