Default Shackles - photos and brands

I'm shopping for shackles for my LoD bumper and would like to see what you installed on your bumpers as well as brand and where you got them.

One question I also have is how you prevent them from rattling while you drive.

I found a few threads but nome with much detailed information.

So, showtime!

Thanks!

I had ARB one's on my LoD when I had it, used ballcock washers (no laughing) for the toilet around the pin so it wouldn't shake and smack the bumper. Qtec has um cheap.

Crosby shackles and take them off so they don't rattle or get stolen.

Buy some cheap China made shackles if you want the look while driving around town.

Thanks! So, I should be concerned with those being stolen?

Any model has some kind of anti-theft feature?

I thought about placing magnets behind the bumper to prevent rattling. But the idea of rubber washers looks better.

Placed a #18 rubber o-ring on each side of the pin to stop side to side movement

I have the ARB shackles on all of the tabs on both my front and rear LoD bumpers.

I don't hear them rattle at all while driving and they have never been stolen. I want to paint them black though.

I did this along with some blue loc-tite on the pin. I can get them off with tools, but its a pita. No one is going to just walk by and get them by hand.

I use smittybuilt shackles that I spray painted red and the daystar poly isolators to keep them from rattling.
