Just a question for anyone that has revolver shackles on theyre xj.. Are they worth the money?

 

well, i paid 245 bux for mine about 3 years ago.



they're still in the original box tucked away in a drawer in the shop.

i don't think i'm gonna use em. too many negative points and hazardous risks.

plus, you must have an sye and limiting strap.

 

My buddy made a set for his FJ40 I would love a set on my CJ. I think they would be of good use on a trail only rig.

 

moved to the right area..Please read through the various forum areas so you have an idea of what's posted where before posting.

 

Not in my opinion. Had lots of issues with them unloading ccuasing axle wrap. Money would be better invested in different spring or 4 link system.

 

They are of no advantage on the trail IMHO. All they do is allow your "unloaded" wheel to drop farther, which gains you nothing. HTH!!

 

thanks for the advice. Glad i didnt already waste the money on stuff thats not gonna do anything good for me lol

 

yea pretty much show rig garbage. everyone i personally know who ran them hated them

 

There is approximately a 0% chance i would run revolver shackles on my cherokee.

 

i once read someone put 2 XJ shackles together to kinda make a set. I dont think they work well.

 

I saw in a mag, don't remember which one, said they were one of the worst products you could buy for your vehicle!!

 

so basically way too much money to spend to have them suck lol

 

we have an older variation of them on the rear of our cj. they were on there when we bought it and i dont see them coming off. i never noticed any horrible unloading like said and its hard to say if they make it more unstable because we have never ran it w/o them. its got like 10 inches of lift and 37's on stock width axles so its very unstable as is

 

a friend of mine runs a set on his nissan frontier and he likes them, because of the way the leafs are on his truck he gained about another 3inched of flex with them. though that being said the slight benfits do not out way the risks the give lots of body roll

 

I just posted in another forum that I had been thinking about grabbing a set but I have now $hitcanned that idea
