Buy the kit and sell your current 2" shackles in the classifieds. Or sell the ones that come in the kit

I have access to a plasma cutter and a MIG welder at work. So, I could probably put $20 worth of material in the hangers and be done. Thats my plan on some traction bars too. When I do make the traction bars & hangers I'm going to get templitates for everything!
