Search for revolver shackles, hypershackles, ect. Lots of posts about this. MY Man-a-fre\chevy shackles in the back give me good droop but limit up travel. I am taking them off. Whacky shackles are a poor trade off for a correctly built susp.

Yeah what he said

The added flex through revolving shackles is not useful, as there is no positive pressure on the drooped wheel, thus destroying stability of your rig, not really adding any additional traction. Not to mention the crazy wheel hop you'll get when trying to ascend a steep incline. Everyone that I have seen use revolver shackles of some sort gets rid of them in a short period of time.

run hillsides or offcambers, you likely won't like them. Spend your time in a boulder field and they work. All depends on your terrain.

Some people set them up to lock out, and operate like normal shackles. I'm too lazy to get out of my rig, had the same problem when I ran RS9000 shocks too.
