Questions
William C.
Are these for a 2" wide spring?
Yes. The Fishbone Offroad 1/2" Greaseable Shackles for the 1976–1986 CJ-7 are designed to work with the factory spring widths for that vehicle.
In a stock 1976–1986 CJ-7 configuration, the front leaf springs are narrower (2") than the rear leaf springs (2.5"). While Fishbone does offer specific "Heavy Duty" shackle hangers designed for 2.5" springs (often used for YJ spring conversions on a CJ), these standard greaseable shackles are intended to fit the staggered factory widths.

Bolt to bolt measurement?

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.
