    One other thing I noticed. The stock shackle is mounted so that the wall that needs trimming on the Belltech is mounted towards the front. In the Belltech instructions, their shackle is mounted with the wall that needs trimming towards the rear. Should I mount it like the stock shackle or like the instructions indicate, does it matter?

    I found it.

    Mount the belltechs with the open side forward, the belltech logo solid side aft, like their instructions show. This minimizes the amount you need to grind out of the shackle to install it.

    sweet thanks hoff!!

    As you can see, the modificatio needed is pretty minimal, just squaring off that rounded opening on the back of the shackle to clear that outer edge of the leaf!
