Default bumper shackle question,,

Ok,, those of you with aftermarket bumpers that have the bolt on shackle mounts,, I need a little help here.. I'm going to fab up some mounts for my bumper.. mopar, cutting off the cans and going with shackle mounts.. But the kicker,, I have to do this quick like when I do the swap over of the bumpers.. Can somebody measure the bolt spacing on the shackle mount? I just need to know the spacing to drill the holes.. The bumper has slots and would rather be closer to right than to cut slots..
Thanks,,

I made my own front winch bumper and I know what you mean. My suggestion is to order the pure jeep d rings from northridge 4x4. this will give you the exact measurement for the holes and save time.

I would but at the cost,, I cant do that.. I can weld myself.. MIG stick, oxy/fuel.. and I have access to 1/4 plate.. so why pay a c note for what I have laying around? I can make stuff at work and bring it home,, 60 mile commute, each way.. If the bumper fit better inside the jeep I'd do it one night after work.. but I have a 2dr.. I'd pay for nice ones like the ones on the orange crush sema JK,, that had factory type shackles,, those wont make noise and look great.. The PJ ones are nice,, but for the $ not for me.. I have a nice big I-beam I want to cut mounts out of..
Thanks.
