Would like to do the TT and shackel thing to my "new to me" 01 ST. I put a Hidden Hitch brand hitch on and the factory shackels angle back to the hitch and looks like longer ones would hit the hitch.
Does any one have this set up or know if the longer ones will fit?
Thanks Brett
 






I had a Hidden Hitch on my old '05 Trac and put Warrior shackles on. It fit and nothing hit or rubbed but it was tight.
 






Cool..it looks SOOO tight..I will take a pic tonight and post it.
 






Shackle bolts

When you first received your warrior 153 shackles, were you unable to twist the nut all the way onto the bolt by hand? I was able to get the nut about 80 percent on with just my fingers. I think the bolt is a 9/16. So im debating on going and buying some more nuts to try.

I don't know if the threads are off or what. Its how they sent it to me.

Also, i have a draw-tite hitch on my X and am wondering will i need to remove it to gain access to the bolts?
