I'm thinking I may need to do the 3/4" offset thing on my Dart to get the tire I want under it.

I've got a bunch of regular shackles laying round and nothing but time. These seem like they'd be a breeze to make up by cutting up some shackles where the bushings are, offsetting them, and connecting the dots by welding in some new steel. Has anyone ever done this???

The only reason I'm considering it is because I already have poly bushings and quite a few shackles laying around. Doesn't seem worth the $90 they want for a pair.
