Default D Ring Shackle Pin Size??

I'm trying to find a D Ring that will fit the Lod Rear Bumper Gen II. I went to the same place to purchase the one's for my front Lod bumper but the one's they now carry won't fit the holes for the pin. I didn't realize there were different sizes. The one's that don't fit now are 3/4" shackles but the pin is slightly larger than 3/4" and won't fit through the hole in the bumper.

5/8" D-Rings are probably needed. The Mopar rear originally had 5/8" hole mounts but they finally changed to the 3/4"

Don't drill them out it will weaken the mount point just order a set of 5/8" shackles.

Also if the mountpoints are thinner than the fronts like on mine a set of ball cock washers from Lowes or Home Depot (In the plumbing area) cut down work great to keep them from rattling around.

You know your on the right board when you were fleece, drive a Jeep, get muddy and think like a juvenile. That's why I like it here.
