Cahil-
Are you talking about the 2005 Dodge PowerWagon? It has an "Electronically disconnecting front stabilizer bar."

oh yeah, and it comes stock with 33"s, Hemi, front and rear locking diffs, as well as warn winch.

all yours for the low, low price of $45k (my guess). I looks sweet.

That was probably it ... Appreciate the info.

Maybe that same technology would be applicable to the drop shackles ??? Lock'em in place for street and unlock'em for trail ???

Cheers,
Cahil

I don't think these will open up on a decent or a side hill unless the un-load the suspension on that corner. If you un-load the suspension, then with a normal shackle you'd be lifting that tire off of the ground anyway.

If you unload with a"normal" shackle your talking 2 inches?
If you unlode with this Ozzie gizzmo your talking 6 inches?
That is enough to throw a tall 60 onto the side window. I've been pitched into a hole where the left front is fully compressed and the right rear is off the ground and human power could easily push the truck further over onto left side. So if the shackle is longer the body goes higher and so does the center of balance?
DD, am I brave enough to error on the side of your confidence?
