The other thing I didn't like about the shackle mounts is that they're tucked up too close to the bumper so the shackle pin interferes with the bumper and makes it a PITA to put on/take off. Luckily I have 2 more shackles so if I ever need to use these, I'll be using a second shackle to connect to the shackle thats already there.
Maybe they work better with the WK bumper... they definitely need to be ~1/2" lower for the XK.
Snapped a pic to show the issue:
Blue was definitely a good last minute idea
Umm why don't you just trim the bumper??

I'm going to. Just didn't want to pull my tools back out after working all day so forced them in.Originally Posted by 07JeepXK
Yup no issue just opportunity to trim fat away
Actually now I'm thinking just leave it as is.... I have 2 more shackles the same size. So if I need to ill just go shackle to shackle.
Looks good! I dig the blue!

That defeats the whole purpose of the shackle! Just trim the bumper.Actually now I'm thinking just leave it as is.... I have 2 more shackles the same size. So if I need to ill just go shackle to shackle.

It doesn't defeat the purpose at all. Now if I left them on and used a tow hook as the link, lol that would defeat the purpose.
