So, I thought i'd share something with you guys,

I decided that I wanted to get a set of shackles made for the 98 explorer sport, since the rear springs are sagging quite a bit. Keep in mind, this is a complete winter beater, and will probably end up as a trail only rig at some point. I used the Warrior Shackle specs i found here to have these made. They ended up being 125 bucks.... a bit more than the warriors. That's ok though. LOL NOW, for the 3/8' cold rolled steel goodness:

These things are HUGE. Coffee cup for scale:
