Found this thread on the web.....way to keep the shackles from rattling (and in this guy's case, not scratch his bumper). Good pics on page 1 & 2. Never heard of "Glad Hand" seals before, (somethin' about them going on big rig trucker's air lines) but got rubber grommets at the hardware store that do the same thing.
No real problem putting them on the back, but a bear getting them on the front with so little work space....I may just skip the front, they aren't scratching anything and probably can't hear them rattle down there anyway. May do something like it on Dave's front shackles as the FJ OEM skid plate is in the way & they're banging into it. Now he wants custom skids like mine.....
