Robert, I was probably one of the first people to use them. I purchased them within a month after they were advertised so I did not have the chance to read or discuss much about them. they just looked like they would work for my set up at the time.

I found them to be very useful and never saw or felt the unloading properties that so many people claim. Through uneven terrain the jeep was much more stable and stayed level. I have a few pics but they are not hosted anywhere, if you want I can send them to you.

Other claims are that since the revolvers release to allow for more drop, that there is no weight on the dropped tire, thus there is no traction. I say that a tire on the ground has more traction than one in the air!

Now, having said that, SOA is a different story! I did see a LOT of unloading of the Revolvers especially in the rear. I have a lot of axle wrap right now (soon to be fixed) and that may have a lot to do with it...I'll experiment again after the traction bar.

Quoting you and referencing Tumbleweed just above, and just below your post, so, the SOA set up you have now, you are still using the Revolver Shackle set up? How interesting. In their paper directions for 2005, they explicitly warn not to run the product on SOAs and Reversed Shackle set ups. I can understand this to a degree.

Why would you and Tumbleweed still use the RS with a SOA? This is very interesting to me.

Thanks in advance.
