I’ve read PRG rear lift shackles are the best and that Nisstec aren’t very good, but I can’t find an actual explanation of what the problem is. Z1 has their own now (https://www.z1offroad.com/z1-produc...ear-lift-shackles-by-z1-off-road-p-33365.html) and I’m curious if they potentially have the same issue as Nisstec.

Nisstec are made too wide. I've installed a couple sets and you have to use washers between the bushing sleeves and the shackle to keep from bending the ears in when you torque them.
They have to be aware of the issue since they install them too so they have obviously chosen to ignore it.
I have PRG. I had owned a set and never installed them and sold them once before and the quality difference between PRG and Nisstec was obvious so I chanced it and ordered from PRG.
I haven't used Z1 to comment on but I would be interested to see them.

Also, here's my shackle thread:

I like PRG shackles but he's iffy at best it seems. I had trouble getting my u-bolt flip kit from him and just don't feel like going through that again. Nisstec consistently makes theirs too wide and they have to bend in when you tighten them which I don't understand why they won't fix. What...
