Just wanting to get some opinions on what you guys think of putting a set of revolver shackles on a XJ. I'm currently running a Rock Krawler 8" Long Arm, the rear lift is 4.5" leafs, 2" blocks, and 1.5" shackles. Broke 3 leafs on the left rear and broke the r/s rear shock over the weekend. I have a set of RE XD 4.5" (6) leafs on the way with a set of Rock Krawler Long Travel shocks for the rear of the XJ. Right now the front flex's GREAT :) , but the rear just plain SUCKS :evil: I was reading some mixed reviews on the revolvers, ppl saying they unload when not supposed to on downhills and such. My g/f's YJ had them when we first bought it, but pulled em b/c it rode horrible on the HW and its more of a DD. Will the YJ revolvers fit on the XJ's, haven't looked into that too much, and do you think I'll notice a huge difference if off-road performance.

What would you guys recommend :?:

the yj revolvers will not work on the xj. i had revolvers on the front axle of my s-10 and did not like them, they would unload and the front end would lift up around 9". it had alot of body roll on the street.
