rear shackle. originally I put the earlier version of this shackle w/o threads on the ends.
The earlier one ...when using on these trucks with a bucket. The lock nut is tedious to tighten with little room there between the bucket and frame.
The carriage bolt will not fit there to go away from the frame.
The carriage bolt does not seem to be enough to hold the shackles together and little for them to hang onto.
Mine was already moving off on one side.
This design with nuts/threads is much better.
