Tera Flex Revolving shackles

[crbnunit]

Don't laugh. I have seen trucks set up just that way. They are freaking awesome! Don't think I'd want to drive them on the street or at high speeds though!

i fliped my shackel and moved them back then made leaf packs from exploer and ranger more droop and stuff daily driver rides better not so skidish over wash board all i know is what i have don.......... missed spelling bee day in school lol

I had them on my bronco2 for about 6 months. They flex ALOT! They will really let the axle droop from the truck which is great for slow relatively flat wheeling. If you do any type of hill climbing or steep decents these will make your handling spooky at best. They will unload and the rear end will come up. This will also happen on hard braking if you're still street driving your truck. I personaly won't use them again. But as they say "your results will vary"...

that sounds like signature material...

why would anyone want their rearend to unload and come up on hard braking? sounds to me like the manufacturer needs to design better product before marketing to the public

they are probably only designe for offroad use.....which alot of mods are getting to be marked with now

I have them on my truck. They were a complete waste of money. My braking is so much worst. and on the trail it feels like my COG is like 10ft higher. But they do make for some cool pictures, and thats about all they are good for. Definately not worth the $180.

Wow. Those things look dangerous. And as someone already mentioned the type of flex they give you is hardly beneficial. First, in order to take full advantage of "flex" you need it on both axles, not just one. Second, hang, or downtravel is far less beneficial than uptravel. These shackles provide 0 stuff, only hang.

Yanno, I find it had to believe this topic is still alive. For what it's worth, when I first asked, it was a curiosity question. I never did anything like that.

Yeah, I had never seen those before so I just had to comment.

I built a set for a dodge I had with a rod end in the bottom. No center pivot, just the ball on the bottom. Worked great to take the stress off the springs. No brake issues,no loss of traction.

Pics?

This is the same idea but in the frame mounted shackle mount. I forget which spring company it is, but someone offers orbit eye ends in their springs similar to this.

Alcan spring offers them. They will even just make a main leaf for you. It's kind of expensive.
