I SAY THROW IN THE .5 BLOCK IN ON #2 AND YOURE GOOD TO GO

 

Loose the block, forget about the revolvers and keep setup #1 with the 4.5" springs and 2" shackles.

 

OK NIK, but why? explain yourself buddy! =)

 

Blocks are BAD! Not worth it for a .5" gain. Go for the 6.5" springs and 2" shackles.

 

check the JU post I did you'll see the responce, jesus and a .5" block used solely for leveling the jeep is fine!

geesh

 

No blocks Todd - this is not the ghetto. Take the stock isolator out of the front if you want to level it!

 

you are such a pessimist, geezuz, i do not want the stock isolator out pablo

 

If you want your lift done right, don't put blocks in. You'll have more problems than you realize.

 

Haha, I've just heard from multiple sources that revolvers really aren't all that. Sometimes they can actually be detremental to what you're doing. I don't like explaining myself, I'm not going to do it anymore.

 

Revolvers Suck the hind tit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCRAm

 

from what i think, shackles direct wieght force downward through the leaf and through the wheel giving traction. The revelover has the ability to move backward horizontally giving more articulation, but also direct wieght force in different amounts during different times downward and also rearward. The times when the revolver is directing alot rearward can actually prevent enough downard force to keep traction and making it up the obstacle. I may be totally wrong, but this is what I see as the pros and cons of each in my head. Sorry if I am wrong and didn't mean to mislead since this isn't a hypo post but are real desicion.

 

I agree !!! SCRAm

 

Yep me too.

 

A .5 BLOCK WILL NOT HURT YOU IN ANY WAY WHAT SO EVER, YES IT INCREASES THE TOURQUE TO S YOUR LEAF SPRINGS BUT IT AINT GONNA HAPPEN WITH A MEASILY .5 .ANY BLOCKS MORE THAN 2 INCHES ARE BAD IMO

DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY OWN AND WHEEL WITH REVOLVER SHACKLES? THEY SEEM GOOD BUT FROM WHAT IM HEARING THEY MIGHT NOT BE

 

Hey eventhough I want to sell my springs I'm honest about it, revolvers SUCK! The most common complaint I hear from guys is how they unload while trying to go up a steep embankment and this loses a lot of rear wheel traction. I could try and explain the physics of it but I'm not qualified. This isn't something I read from a mallwheeler but from guys who do a lot of hardcore rockcrawling, I trust their opinions.

 

THANKS FOR THE INFO , LLOKS LIKE ILL PASS ON THE REVOLVERS

 

does anyone else sence that nate is testy tonight? jesus bevis.

 

Aj, that is the exact obstacle I had in mind that they may load backward instead of downward.

 

First, TAKE THE DAMN CAPS LOCK OFF!

Second, blocks will slip around on the perch, causing the hole for the centering pin to wallow. Eventually, the pin will get stressed and break - not fun to spit leafs on the trail or on the street. The only way blocks could be used safely is if they are welded or bolted to the perch.

 

You're supposed to tighten down the u-bolts, maybe you forgot that part?

 

WOO HOO! Support on the Nate (bevis) front, thanks AJ, granted Nate's my best friend we still like to pick on each other, you should see us drunk and talking about Liberty's (which he likes) HEHE.

Thanks,

Todd

 

Nope - but I bet there are only one or two people here who check their u-bolt nuts regularly. They loosen over time.

 

i do, usually before we wheel i'll do the fluids, and check the mission critical bolts and junk.

 

I check every so often, only once in all my life have I had to retorque them.

 

I check them cause i had on loosen up way back. SCRAM
