Default LOD Bumper Shackle Size
Does anyone know the size of the shackle pins needed on an LOD bumper? Is it 7/8"? I have a mid width that should be shipping soon and I want to get shackles for it. Thanks.

From LOD website:

Our shackle mounts are laser cut with a 15/16" hole. Any of our bumpers will accept a shackle with a maximum pin size of 7/8".

Are you sure you're using a shackle with a 7/8 pin? A 3/4 shackle (shank thickness) will have a 7/8 pin. A 7/8 shackle will have a 1" pin.

Ah, there may be my problem. I bought a couple 7/8 shackles, hence the 1" pin I assume. Thanks for the info.
