M1009 & M101 Shackles

[coyotegray]

Question. Will the shackles from a M101 trailer fit a M1009..?
Im picking an M1009 up Tuesday and it is missing the front shackles.

Thanks,
Andy.

The trailer shackles are too small

Are M35 shackles too big..?

Yikes, if I was going to replace shackles and drive it I'd wanna do it right. Get some real shackles, thats a safety issue.

If you were going to trailer it, then yeah...throw whatever holds it together on there and call it good.

I'm talking about the "D Ring" shackles on the bumper.. Not the shackles on the suspension.....

I am hauling it on a trailer and want to use them to chain it down...

Ahhh that makes sense, sorry.

M35 shackles and pins fit just fine. I put a pair on the rear of my M1009 to tie it down to the trailer. I haven't removed them yet since. Only one of us would notice they are wrong anyway.
