Those are called revolver shackles. Some people swear by them, but if you think about it the other end of the spring is still "fixed" relatively speaking, so are they really doing anything for your flex?

Best thing to do for more flex is to use longer/softer springs and longer shocks. Also new shock mounting location, the stock location on BII's really limit travel.

I rolled my rear fenders, added 2" shackles with long travel shocks,4" spring over custom springs, get about 16 inches of wheel travel in rear

Thats all I get out of mine. The rear shocks are bottomed/toped out respectively. I still need to trim my fenders and work on the rear shock mounts, but the springs will do more.

Yes they are mostly jeeps but a leaf spring is a leaf spring is a leaf spring, so.......just imagine they're talkin' about RBVs.

Posing on a forklift? Yup, probably will, longer wheelbase + smaller tires = better poser shots.

Considering that those are 37"s without any fender trimming, I don't think it does too bad. Like I said, I still have some tuning to do.
