I knew you'd like it.
Figure there's a point where doing BOTH long travel mods is getting crazy...the drivetrain work to make a jeep able to get its tires at 180 to the frame are too much to bother with for him for sure...so as he did the SOA for lift...ALSO doing Revolvers would have meant way too many other mods to make it all work, etc.
Anyway - I'm glad the myths are busted at least...thanks for the help.
No mod is perfect for everyone...For me, I need a stiff leaf pack because I carry a shit load of equipment into the boonies for work, etc....and I'd rather have the lower COG than a taller lift...but I also need the articulation to get over crap...so I use the skids to drag over, and the revolver articulation to maintain traction.
The Revolvers let me sit lower than normal, helping to keep the COG down, for the amount of articulation they provide - about like a flexy leafed 3" or a conventional 5" SL, etc....but with enough leaf support to work...a good compromise for me.
If I had tried to get leaves that flexed that much, but could hold up that much weight, I'd have been looking at a very custom pack.
And, since the Revolvers work as they are supposed to, with none of the mythical drawbacks...I'm happy.
