anti inversion shackle, i know they are and people use them for 75's utes and shit but on a hilux? never scene em used. the lumpy bit :finger: , flip the shackle aroun so that it is on the front side of the shackle and closest to the chassis.

They are defintly anti-inversion shackles.... i do use them on my hilux as i had a problem with the shakles inverting when there was no weight in the back while wheelin... if you dont have a problem with them inverting yet...these wont effect anythin already its just extra security basiclly.
Cheers, Hayden!
