I purchased a repro shackle kit during my project. Then I compared the original shackles to the repro shackles, and the originals were MUCH much thicker and heavier/stronger when compared to the new repros.
I had purchased the kit years prior....too late to return.
So I utilized only the bolts/nuts from the kit because mine were junk. I went poly with the bushings, and I blasted and painted my original shackles. The repro shackles got tossed in my scrap metal pile.
If your originals are straight, re-use them. Much better than the repros.
