That's right folks. DISREGARD all of the major 4x4 publications who hve universally maligned revolver shackles. Listen to TJ and go buy 'em. [Freak] [/b]
Which publications? Everything I found online, had nothing but good reviews for them. Well there was one article I found that didn't like them. But when I was doing my research, I found most 4x4 publications spoke highly of the revolvers.[/b]
The article that I saw was in Four Wheeler magazine about 3 1/2 years ago. I couldn't find it posted online. They also make the vehicle more prone to rollovers (lotsa info on that one).

I have seen at least 2 other articles denouncing them, but don't have 'em anymore. (I do not put any stock posted in "Peterson's Redneck Bling" articles)

Jp doesn't like 'em:

The guys at Pirate: "..They are for ramp fags.."

S10 Extremists don't like 'em: "...They really aren\'t any good for anything but ramp champs...."

....

All publications/conjecture aside, the bottom line is Physics. If your body weight is not enough traction to push the vehicle out by hand, the weight of half your axle (-w-wheel) ain't either. They may help on occasion, but not when you need real traction. They ruin leaf springs and frame mounts and increase the chance of both highway and trail rollovers.

Go down to Independence in Penrose and find ONE, just one person with revolver shackles. You won't.
