Matching the grey sounds like a good idea... But then you have to deal with the ARB as well. No biggie. I'm just thinking of durability over "just painted steel" which is sure to rust with a few scratches and scrapes. I wouldn't mind semi-gloss black.


i have the welded on shackles and they do not rattle much at all. when i was off-road last weekend, i think i heard them once. nothing that a little weather stripping wouldn't deaden. also the other shackle brackets, are NOT like the ARB brackets, they are much thicker. where a normal shackle will fit in there, i am not so sure about the ARB hi-lift adapter.
