Dave and I mounted the Johnny Joint shackles this weekend.
All I can say is what a pain in the :moon: to put on the snap ring.
Dave made a custom tool from a 1" deep socket, 1.75" flat washer, and a 3/8"x6" bolt and nut.
We had to compress it about 1/4" further than when first assembled to get the washer in far enough to put in the snap ring.
Both bolts are greasable.
The shackle was mounted 5" back from the stock shackle location eye to eye.
Enough babble, on to the pics.
