Can someone PLEASE measure how long the 'dog bone' is on the front shackle of their 41 or 46 1/2 ton and let me know? My front shackle dog bone is about 4 inches long. The replacment dog bone is also in the picture for comparison. See pic.

The 'dogbone' of the replacement shackle I received for the front is about 3 and 1/4 inches and won't work. See pic.
