I have poison spider shackles tightened with a screw driver as mentioned above with ballcock washers and dayside isolators. No noise at all.

Awesome! I'll take a look at the brands you all suggested. My JK is a 4dr, any special recommendations about load capacity? Thanks!

I think it's safe to say anything you find on-line as far as part sellers go would be fine. The other 'parts'
of your recovery gear are going to fail first. Even if you went the farm supply route. The thing you want to look at is the hole diameter on the tab.

If getting for LOD their website most likely has the specs for the pin. 3/4 is most common but if 7/8 fit
all the better.

Just a warning that the red pin on the ARB shackles will turn pink over time.
