Will these work with BDS springs with military wrap?

The short answer is: Technically yes, but with a significant "if."
The FB27225/FB27226 while it is beefier than stock (3/8" steel), it uses a traditional straight-plate design.
Whether it works with your BDS springs depends on which end of the spring you are mounting:
At the Hanger (Frame Side): Military wrap springs (where the second leaf wraps around the main eye) are much thicker at the eyelet. A standard shackle like the FB27225 often rubs or binds against the wrap of the second leaf, especially during compression.
The Bushing Match: The FB27225 is designed for standard CJ spring widths (2" front). BDS Military Wrap springs for CJs often require 2" wide shackles. If you are doing a YJ Spring Conversion (2.5" wide), these shackles will be too narrow.
