Default Rugged Ridge XHD D-Ring Shackles

Does anybody know where you can find a set of D-Ring shackles that come on the XHD bumper? All I see are the stainless steel ones for sell which are a little too blingy my JK. I'm looking for them for a scratch and dent Milspec bumper that I'm piecing together.

I didn't really think about a price. What would make it worth your while? I know the stainless ones area little pricey.

does $150 sound about right? that would be both of them shipped to your address. the stainless ones are $220 so i would just buy those and blast them and paint them after you get my d-rings.

I just called Omix-Ada (owner of RR) and they told me that they do not sell the black ones by themselves.

I looked and looked for them in black, and ended up buying them on SS and painted them black

You could get the Teraflex D-Ring mounts for ~$50 ea. Then just take a trip to your local farm store (i.e. Tractor Supply) and get the shackles you need for ~$15 ea.

People are seriously paying $200 a pair for shackles? Or does that include the mounting piece too? Or am I just confused?

I tried to do this same thing 2 months ago. Call RR but no luck, PM'd the RR rep a few times and finally got a response. He told me could find me a set but I sent him an offer and never heard back. So good luck. I have the XHD rear and a custom front so I wanted the d-rings to match but I think I'm going to go with teraflex ever since I read that thread about the RR d-ring mount failing.
