I know some of you were wondering about the revolver shackles for your explorers/rangers. I just got off the phone with them, and there are a few things that we have to work around. Unfortunately, they won't work with our stock rear springs. They won't work, because the eye near the stock spring is centered on the eye. It goes to the center of the hole, then wraps around the hole. The guy said that they had tried to design around that, but for the number of sales that they thought they would get, it wouldn't be worth it. So for the shackles to work, you would have to have aftermarket springs on, that have the spring starting on the bottom of the eye, then wrapping up over the eye.
As far as the wieght goes, they will work for the explorer. He said that they have put some on the 1/2 and 3/4 ton chevys, adn they work great. the ones we would need to get would be the ones for the ZJ or the grand Cherokee. They are just over $200 for the pair.
Just thought that some of you would like to know that....
