What shackles are you running with your Deaver leaf springs?

What shackles are people running with their Deaver leaf springs? The two shackles - the Rubicon Express 5" shackle and my IronRock Offroad adjustable 5" to 6" both bind on the leaf springs, - since Deavers leaf eye roll is the opposite of a standard leaf spring.

Deaver specifies that their leaves are to be used with a boomerang shackle
 
I've got a NIB set of IRO boomerangs (5-6") if your interested.
 
RCP Phx Thanks for the offer. I have that shackle already as well, and it binds also. It necks down so at a point when the shackle begins to lay down it binds with the leaf. I drove my XJ down and Jeff from Deaver actually saw how both shackles would bind. I am trying to find a shackle that would actually work well for my rock crawler.

Looked at these on Amazon. Are they a boomerang? Didn't look like as much 'offset' as others.
I'm pounding Search for resolution to my 'issue' and dredging up a lot of threads on it.

They do have a little "kick" in them but I wouldn't call them "boomerang's" compared to those that truly are!
