Tow Shackle size.

[BroncoKong Jr.]

The correcct size would help, Jeep uses a 3/4" pin shackle, the Bronco uses a 7/8" shackle pin.

I took my calipers to a Bronco event to measure the pin hole diameter of the modular front bumper D-Ring mount. It measured .925" ID, so an industry standard 7/8" Shackle Pin will fit.

Jeep and Bronco should use the same size. A ¾" shackle has a ⅞" pin. For some reason it looks like Smittybilt lists by pin diameter while everyone else lists by shackle diameter. I wouldn't trust those Smittybilt ones anyway.

Yeah, I mean, this shackle fit pretty well I thought so I’m thinking you’re right?

Being a “newbie” to off roading, is there something you can purchase to make it slightly more snug/limit rattling? Almost like a washer that would go on.

Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

Ballcock washers work great, found in most plumbing isles. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Danco-Ba...763077?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1668

Measured on my Wildtrak Bronco with HD Modular bumper received on 11/22/21 with digital calipers. Pin diameter measured to the widest part of the hole diameter is 0.911 inches (with only minor variance of as "small" as 0.908 inches) and the width of the shackle opening is exactly 1.125 inches throughout the width of the attached "hooks". Any other measurement you need, let me know.

Hey North7, will these fit my Capable bumper on my Badlands (build date for end of January)?
they have a 7/8" screw pin. THX!

The look like they would, do you have a link?

No, the Capable bumper does not have shackle brackets. It already has D rings.

Any suggestions on securing these so someone can’t easily walk off with them? They seem like an easy target for theft. Maybe I’m just paranoid?

Or you could just leave them in your recovery gear bag until needed.

Not if you paint them pink.

There is another factor that was not in my original post you need to confirm, here is the updated info:

The Jaw Gap measured 1-1/8" with a ruler, not a caliper, so that needs to be confirmed on the purchased shackle as well.

Can’t I take the factory D rings off and put these on?

Just looking at the picture I would say no.
