Thinking of throwing some of these (teraflex revolver shackles) in the rear and just wanted to find out if they will add any lift and how reliable they are?
I talked to M.O.R.E. and they recommend aginst them (and they invented them) and said buggy spring are a better way to go.
MGrobe said:My XJ is only sitting on 32's with about 4.5" of lift, I want to say the Tera version gave my about .75" of lift. I have had my Tera set for about 3-4 years and haven't experienced any negative side effects at least that I am aware of!
Never heard of an issue with these going uphill... Going downhill is one area that could potentially cause the rear axle to unload from the rest of the body. But with limiting straps or short shock absorbers this side effect can be negated.
On an off camber situation I have heard that the rear axle unload could occur. I have been off camber and although I hate it, I haven't experienced it myself, but I do have bump stops that actually function.
The last complaint has to do with slamming on the brakes on the road or swerving to avoid an accident. Once again I haven't had an issue in either regards, but I don't drive around like I own a Porsche.
So I am not saying that these complaints aren't real, I am just saying that they aren't as bad as you might be lead to believe. This isn't anymore different than getting an 8" lift and having the higher COG increasing your chances that you might roll your XJ.

X2!!! I remember talking to those guys in Vernal at an A.R.C.A event right before they sold them to Tera. It was Metal Made Rite. NOT Mountain Off Road Enterprizes.xjnation said:DOOD for the last and final time.....Metal Made Rite made the original revolvers and sold the rights to terraflex..............M.O.R.E has never had anything to do with them if someone told you they did they are on crack :lecture:
