anybody know anything about the revolver shackle. i saw them on the internet somewhere and was wondering how they work. i only saw them on sale for the rear springs. do they make them for the front if not can i gabricate some so that the rears will work up front.

Hyperlite

The revolvers are like a spring. The more flex you put on them the more the extend. I greatly increases the flex of your rig. If you have IFS (85 have solid axle correct?) then reason It is only available it is for the rear and replaces shackles on leaf springs only. It would lift the truck and inch or so. I have seen a factory Jeep YJ reach over 1000 on an articulation ramp with revolvers on all 4 leafs and no shocks. Heard rumors of the revolvers getting to flexed and getting stuck. I would not recomend this product.
If you are looking for flex try All Pro Offroad or another suspension kit.

If you are looking for height then go with longer shackels or Body Lift

I would strongly recomend NOT buyin them. the only thing they will do is help you mall-crawl. In real world wheeling, they can be your worst enemy. They can and will unload on a sidehill without warning, usually resulting in a rollover. When on a steep uphill climb, they will open up, and lift the rear end of the truck, and while it does this you will expereince instability and a loss of traction. They will help you droop, but what good is droop if there is no weight on that drooped tire to help grab the rock? Some people run them and like them, but most who buy into the hype get rid of them and will just run a single shackle.
