Anyone Used Teraflex shackles on their 60's?

[takeitforgranite]

Wondering if this is a viable option for droop and sag on my rig... Or is there just too much trade-off for on-road safety and performance?

Thanks!

I assume you are talking about the revolving shackles?

If so, I put a set on my CJ-8 and love the articulation they offer.

On road it feels like the front end is loose.

I have known a few guys to put them on 40's and then take them right back off for the same reason.

I have never seen them on 60's.

Wagoneer had them on his 502 Mercruiser'd 62.

They are not a replacement for droop and sag.

This is one of Gary's pictures (Wagoneer5).

Yep, that looks like a stock set up with sagging springs.

I understand what you were getting at now. I was just responding to your mentioning about not seeing those shackles on a 60.

Hey folks just need to clairify-Waggoner is running Superior Shackles from down under.....Not Tera Flex.....David Dearborn got 4 sets & all had rave reviews for the shackles.

Might want to search for Superior Shackles

Other than that nothing else to offer.....

No worries here.

I wish my 60 looked like that.

That pic of those shackles just doesn't look safe to me. I would like to hear gary's opinion on them if anyone can get him to chime in.

I have wheeled a ton with both wagoneer and devo. The shackles make a huge difference off road. Put the pin in for on road and they aren't dangerous. Not sure they are worth the $$$ but they do make a difference.

That is the difference. Tera Flex does not have that option.
