Update - I pulled the parts box with these out last night and could only find one each of these and then my chevy ones. At 1st I was thinking "WTF" but then I remember I loaned one of each to a buddy to see if they would work in his truck. I'm hopin to be able to get down and pick them up from him next Sunday (not 2 days from now - he's in Vegas for Supercross this weekend). Hopefully you're not in a super rush for these things... :oops:

Also one side note to check before we get too far on this... The area where the shackle mounts on these things is 3" wide. I THINK the bronco shackles will fir in there as I THINK they are the same width at the bottom as the shackles for 2.5" wide leafs but I am NOT 100% sure on that so if you can do a quick measurement and let me know.

Just to confirm - you are measuring the part of the shackle that bolts to the hanger - NOT the part that bolts to the leafs - correct? If so it looks like these dodge ones won't work for you unfortunately.

It is the inside measurement in red above on the shackle hanger. There seems to be a good amount of space on either side of the "velvet ride" shackle I'm running. I may be able to use one that is only 3" wide on the inside, but I'm not yet sure if the Camburg shackles are wider than what I have on currently.

I THINK the camburg ones are 3" overall but can't say for sure. I can easily wait on this deal until you confirm the sizes. If these will work for you then cool, if not sorry I couldn't help.

Sydude do you mind measuring the width of the Camburg shackle & bushing where it mounts to the shackle hanger?
I THINK the camburg ones are 3" overall but can't say for sure.
Just measured my Velvetride shackle and the metal portion is 2.75" wide at the hanger with a 3" width bushing, leaving 1/4" on each side between bushing and shackle hanger so 3" width for the Camburgs makes sense to me.
EDIT: I'm waiting on a call back from somebody @ Camburg on that measurement...

I brought the other hanger home Sunday night so it's here when you find out. While I don't have a caliper here to get a precise measurement I do have a tape and these things are 2-5/16" clear now with the shackle in them. I'm sure they'd open up a little.

Let me know what you find out.

2 & 5/16" or 3 & 5/16"?? If it's the smaller, I'd guess they won't work, if it's 3 & 5/16" they should work fine.

I'm still waiting on that callback from Camburg :x

Neither... Typo on my part. That was supposed to read 2 15/16"

I'll take 'em, the guy @ Camburg said they measure 3" from bushing to bushing. Hopefully having stuff that tight won't be an issue.

Will grab the other one from the shop and get a shipping quote on Monday. Safe to assume it would be going to a residence?

I usually get stuff shipped to my work, but if it's more convenient/cheaper, you can ship it to my pad instead. Zip for either address is 94566, thanks!

I was thinking going FedEx in which case a commercial/business address is cheaper, but it looks like these might fit in a flat rate box from USPS which may be the cheapest. I'll figure it all out on Monday and let you know what is cheapest.
