you are confusing boomerang shackles with revolver shackles

boomerang shackles are merely bent to clear the body on xj's with long travel leaf springs or longer leaves.

revolvers are the teraflex design that sucks for anythign but rti scores

Thanks KTM I guess I was thinking the names were talking about the same thing. Revolver shackles and Boomerangs are not the same. After reading your post I did some research and you are correct. I always thought that they were two names for the same thing.

Sweet bodylift 93xj. I scrounged together a body lift before i bought mine. And was a little confused when i couldn't find any of the bolts to the frame.

I think people get confused cause the wranglers accept body lifts since they have frames. I didnt know that cherokees didnt till I bought one....
