I copied and pasted this blurb from http://www.off-road.com/trucks-4x4/r...les-20712.html,


"The Revolver shackle allows maximum use of your suspension system. These can be used on most leaf spring suspensions from stock to any after-market lift. Due to the Revolvers self-supporting design, it allows the leaf spring to start compression much easier, resulting in a softer action and more comfortable ride. From full compression even with negative arch to extended droop, the Revolver allows the spring eye to stay in a resting position and lets the shackle head rotate. This translates into a more relaxed position for the spring and less fatigue; extending the life of your stock or after market springs. The Revolver has the potential of letting the rear spring droop 10". When the springs are in the normal driving position, the Revolver locks down and has very little side shift; this allows the vehicle to be a stable daily driver. For longevity purposes,"

Ya, wait till they unload on an off camber situation and ya flip, seen it happen. Or they revolve inside out, pain in the butt! I hate em.
