Yes - shackle is just a piece of plate to bridge the gap between the hanger and the spring. Obviously, you will need to account for any width difference and have the right diameter holes to match.

I found some 2.5wide z-swing shackles(revolver) and 2.5 wide johnny joint hangers. Now I just need to measure the spring to see if the will fit, if they do I will be installing and posting pics
