Has anyone ever used revolver shackles on their rig?? If so, im wondering about pro's and con's......

 

They work but can be very dangerous. Will unload when you don't want to too, especially down hill

 

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.

 

So probably more cons than pros with these things huh.

 

a lot more

 

Waste of money. Get some Boomerang shackles or just some extended length shackles.

 

Stay away ...far..far away

 

Whats the difference with a boomerang shackle and a revolver shackle?

 

Revolver shackle pivots in the midle of the shackle

 

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 .

 

Nuff said!! hahaha

 

wow! thanks for that. not that I would have ever bought revolvers(always seemed kind of cheezy to me) but it looks like they do way more harm than good.

 

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
