Hello Daniel, thanks for reaching out. For the Buyers Products Drop Forged Heavy-Duty Towing Shackle # 337B0681, unfortunately the manufacturer does not offer any instruction documentation. They typically don't for these kinds of universal bolt-on parts. I can provide you with some general instructions though.
The # 337B0681 Drop Forged Heavy-Duty Towing Shackle is designed to bolt directly to a frame-mounted tow or recovery point, not sheet metal or bumper. Line the bracket up with an existing reinforced hole on the truck’s chassis or find a point where you can drill your own holes, bolt it on, and make sure the bracket sits flat against the frame before tightening everything down.
Once mounted, torque the bolts to spec and confirm the shackle can pivot freely without rubbing on the bumper or suspension. It’s a good idea to recheck bolt torque after a few uses and inspect it periodically.
What truck are you installing it on and will you be using it more for recovery or straight towing?

I used them on a gooseneck hitch plate that I had made to my specs. In my application they got welded onto the rise of the hitch plate. Really depends on your application.
