Naw - the shackles don't make much difference in braking either, or cornering for that matter...they act exactly like regular shackles in that regard.

They are folded when gravity is not pulling the axle down (It NEVER pulls the truck UP, only the axle down...)

When folded, they support the weight of the truck exactly like a regular shackle does.

I've nailed the brakes in emergency stops, and nothing unusual ever happened, even if turning while braking, etc...except on one of the straight stops, the Honda behind me crashed into my ass end so hard the Honda was totaled...(Lady ran a stop sign RIGHT in front of me...Honda behind me was unattentive despite tail gating).

Luckily, the Shrock took the rear impact, and I had ZERO damage, which was cool.



So - braking, cornering, climbing, decending...no problems...gravity is pretty reliable, and so far, the X has not tried to float into space despite having Revolvers.



Again - they are just shackles that go a bit longer...they are not anti-gravity machines...regular shackles swing to let the leaf pack droop more, etc...the Revolvers give the extra droop with an articulated joint as well, that can relieve the tension on the leaf pack when its flexed, etc....

....they work like other shackles do, only better, that's pretty much it.



Any lifted truck is going to lean more during directional changes, fore/aft, or, side to side, etc...its got a higher center of gravity (COG) if its lifted.

My 3" SL used a shackle that made me 1.5" higher...I replaced it with a Revolver Shackle that only made me 2/3" higher...but gave me more droop...so my COG was better, not worse...but the tires could stay on the ground with the travel normally associated with a 4-5" lift.
