Warrior shackles and hitches

[jremington59]

I ordered a set of warriors and have the Hidden Hitch Ford installed on some years. Does anyone have these shackles and the hitch. It looks to me like they will rub on the hitch.

There's no reason the shackles shouldnt rub, they arent really any wider then the stock shackles.

It's the length I'm concerned about. I'm about two inches from the support for the hitch at the bottom.

The warriors are no different in terms of hitch interference than the OE shackles.

You should be fine. There are dozens of people on here who run shackles with hitches.

The warriors are 4 inches longer than stock according to the measurements. Worst case a guess is grinding a little off the side frame of the hitch.

I got them this morning and it took 35 minutes to put them on. What a difference a clean salt free vehicle is to work on. Between the coil overs and the shackles I got just under 4 inches of lift at the bumper. Now I just have to wait for the Gibson exhaust to get here and I should be done for a while.

what did you do upfront, anything?

 

[jremington59]

I haven't done anything. I may do a slight torsion twist at some point.

I bought them from a place called Jeep parts unlimited, but if you google them you'll find a lot of people selling them.
