MORE shackles- how to order?

went online to order MORE 5/8 shackles to go with new OME springs. the website lists many other companies springs i.e. pro comp, RC, black diamond etc. but, not OME. How do you know which springs are similar to OME..?

Give them a call. They will know exactly which bushings you need. I had to do the same when I ordered mine.

does your OME come with new bushings? i thought the Shackles came with bushings and the bushings were the difference, not the shackle, know what I am syaing?

I ordered mine direct from MORE when they were having a sale; check the vendor section to see if a deal is currently happening. Or, Northridge4x4 is always good to deal with.

95% sure the spring eye on the shackle end is 1 1/4". Maybe someone with an uninstalled set of springs can do a quick measre.

OME springs are 1/8 inch narrower than many others. To make the shackles fit properly there are differences in the bushing shoulder width. Make sure you install the narrow shoulder bushings in the frame eyes (furthest front and furthers rear) and the wide shoulder bushings in the springs (both ends).

My MORE shackles didn't come with frame bushings only the sping and shackle bushings, I had to order the frame pieces seperately.

You should call MORE directly to find the sizing and you can just order them from there as well since QT will have them drop shipped from MORE anyway..
