Sonoran Steel shackle hangers installed (write up)
Guys,
Not much of a write up like the sound deading one, but the instructions are definitely more clear (haha, Steve).
I've also included a little section on how to buy the right shackle.
I must say these pups are built to last. Check out my write up. Lots of pics too:

Just an FYI, I don't know what Steve charges for his, but I found these on the web for 30 each, they look like they'd do the trick.

Helix Power Toilet? Hmm........no thanks. 
Mad: i don't know about the ones you're talking about, but these shackle hangers are solid through the hanger part (the part w/ the eyelet). I think it must've taken ol' Steve quite a bit of time to drill through an inch of metal.
Anyways, of course there are other options, but for me, I got lucky and have some quality shackle hangers under my baby.

Bob/Others,
This is a reply to an older thread I found while doing some searching on shackle hangers. I want to do the mod that Bob did in that nice write-up but I cannot find out where to buy the shackle hangers (he said Steve does not make them any more, and the link provided above to spydercustoms does not show anything about them). Are these available anywhere or are you looking at a custom fab to get the pieces made? Thanks

scroll down on the poison spyder page to "D-Shackle mounts" its the third from the very bottom on the left column. I think thats what he saw back then. RockStomper makes those as well, but those need to be welded onto something sturdy. It's not just a bolt on application like steve's.

Not that I know him or anything but, have you actually spoken with Steve? If you check his web site it looks like he's still making his shackle hangars:

mmm...Sonoran Steel website says no fit on the 4th gens :cry:
I'll PM SS and see if there are any changes planned.
