Tera Flex Revolver shackles

Has anyone out there tryed any of these dual shackles? I need more flex but do not even come close to having the $ for a 4 link. And do they make these shackles for the front? The ones I found are only for the back?

I have heard bad things about them. When you are descending down a hill, and you apply the brakes the shackles will extend which will cause the truck to continue forward until the shackle is in it's fully extended position. Then inertia takes over, and could possibly flip the vehicle over.

Rather just do a buggy leaf setup and use regular shackles, safer, cheaper and more effective.. plus if you do it right you can make it safe/good for street use too.

I am sure if you had them in the front you would have all kinds of SCARY stearing problems
