revolver shackles.. - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

is this a good price?

bullfrog · 08-13-2001, 11:16 PM

Honestly it's not any cheaper than most off road shops. samsoffroad.com sells them for $6.00 more. Other companies will be even cheaper than this. Look around before bidding, you might be able to get them locally for the same price or maybe even cheaper.

Thanks Jeremy!

XJ · 08-14-2001, 06:34 AM

I can't belive how expensive are the pieces. I'm fabbing all what I use...

Hey Cutter! You can do that!!!

ScottN · 08-14-2001, 08:13 AM

I wouldn't pay that much for garbage! <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

SAMs offroad and ORW now has them for 139.00 a pair.

What the hell are you needing shackles for man? Did you buy a new project or did you do a leaf conversion that I missed?

Cutter · 08-14-2001, 04:33 PM

I will have the engine mounted in by then, but I will still be probably a month away from driving. Sure would be bad ass though... I want to hear more, but email me so as not to piss everyone off with chat.

Hey Cutter, why don't you register at the http://www.rockymountainextremists.com/ and make some friends with a local club in that area. These guys are very cool.

Cutter · 08-14-2001, 07:24 PM

Thanks a bunch, Mr. Cowmooflage ! Will Do! <IMG SRC="smilies/csmile.gif" border="0">

do yourself a favor and weld your own shackles. Revolvers suck, break easy.

coachgeo3 is rite, who are you to know. I'm running revolvers on a fullsize blazer and I've had no problems.

TornadoTJ · 08-15-2001, 11:50 PM

I wheel a TJ and know plenty about shackles (know nothing about Revolvers though, I'd do a SOA and be done with it). My past Jeeps include a J10, CJ's, another TJ and I also currently own a lifted XJ. Just because a person has a TJ doesn't mean they don't know about shackles. I also have helped with many a lift and many a trail fix.

XJ Hunter · 08-17-2001, 05:58 AM

over on NAXJA.org a thread just popped up about revolvers. seems many of the guys on there ran em and dont like them one bit, they allow too much wheel hop on uphill climbs. i have no experience with them personally however.

ledjer · 08-17-2001, 09:33 PM

I would say that hill climbing and revolvers don't mix. I would think that anyone with an IQ>80 could have figured that one out. Revolvers are not designed to be hauling ass up hill climbs. Revolvers are definately for going slow over rocks to keep your tires on the ground and give you traction.

Mudpuppy · 08-19-2001, 06:54 PM

I have revovlers front and rear on my 95yj. I have an RE 4.5" sua lift and I love it. The tricky part is figuring what length shoks to run

Ive helped 2 different friends replace them with regular shackles because they kept breaking them on Spring Creek trail rock crawling. Maybe thats just a coincedence? I dont know, I think they suck, is that ok with you or are you gonna flame me some more for having an opinion thats different from the mainstream? <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">
