no real pros that i know of. I've put them on a ring in the past and they didn't flex any better then an extended shackle but made the on road ride down right scary if you had to make a sudden move.

I have Rock krawler boomerang shackles, they are a regular type shackle, there just angled.
Revolver shackles actual pivot in the middle of themselves.
Edit - Sorry, I don't know why it's in bold.

Revolver shackles
Watch the end of first video and then ask why pay around $200 to make your rig have flex that only works on an rti .

so i want to know how many people on here talking crap about them have actually ran revolver shackles and arent just jumping on the band wagon because of what they hear around while web wheeling? 
edit: that looked like axle wrap that youd have with any leaf that long and possibly worn out

i had wrist-o-twisty shackles on a yj they were kind of sloppy to drive i think they walk too close to the dedicated trail rig line for daily driver use. my $0.02...i won't spend the money again on a street/trail truck
