@george davis I have a 79 jeep j10 I was thinking of installing these on I have my rear shackles flipped and SOA front and rear mine has a 6inch blazer leaf springs in the front .could I email you few questions about your rig pleas ?
I’ve got 3.5” leaf springs in the rear and I want to run these should I run a shock that’s rated for more than a 3.5” lift with these? Don’t want my shocks to become my limiting straps 😅
It is holding up the Jeep. I am sure it will be more than fine even if it is Dana 60 or 14 bolt. Steel is known to have great tensile strength. 1 inch bead of weld is said to hold ~10,000 lbs of weight.
@@mightymikee not so much the weld that can fail, the frame beyond but close to the weld will sometimes fail due to metal fatigue. My YJ is sprung over with a pro rock 60 . Have had one main eye tear out of the frame under heavy articulation. Keep an eye out for cracks beyond the welds. Have fun.
@@wesbarcus3761 The weld talk was to make a point about tensile strength which relates to weight/force pulling on parts plus the weld is usually where things also fail. You asked questions about if the revolver would keep the axle under, that was the answer. It seems like your frame failed. Probably not so much from the weight of the 60s but more from torsional stress and accumulated fatigue. Anything can fail if you mess around long enough.
@@mightymikee I was a certified welder in the 80s. The weld strength will depend on a number of factors, from the type of rod used ( say 6011 vrs 7018 vrs 7024 ) . Even how clean the materials are and weld direction. ( Vertical down vrs vertical up vrs flat or horizontal. This is I know old school now, as mig and Tig has improved . My instance happened in parent metal outside of the weld. Also because of shackle reversal and spring over conversion. Plus, the frame was 27 years old. Had to add plating to both sides and bottom of the frame to get the strength back. My thought has always been the single bolt that allows the shackle to drop. How well does it handle the the stress caused by droop on one side and compression on the other?
@@wesbarcus3761 You are saying nothing more than what I have mentioned ealrier about torsional stress and accumulated fatigue. No need to flex being a welder or give a windy repeat of my initial reply. You asked a question if these would hold the weight of the Prorock 60. If you were really the welder, you really didn't have to ask that question. If you didn't like my reply. Sorry. Yes. Revolver shackle will hold the weight of the Prorock 60. Easily.
The side loading forces would place a lot of strain on that small centre portion
I'm running these on my SAS S10 blazer
how do you like them? on stock springs?
@@user-vh5yf7ps9l on 64" rears and +3 wagoneer fronts. Lovem. But just a heads up with the rear springs it will move the axle back considerably
thank you for info!

whoa... sweet!

Definitely should
What about with a shaken reversal
In a cj that Has a square headlight spring conversion?
What keeps the shackle from moving forward and coming in contact with the frame mount?
Where can I buy them
Jesus, the frame on that shitbox👌
It’s actually not a frame those xjs had a unibody chassis so he’s even more fucked than your average rusted frame
Rust Notches are just extra ground clearance. He's actually better off.
Will these hold up to supporting the weight of a prorock 60?

Do they make these for a 95 Chevy 1500?
How much lift do these shackles give you? I'm looking for some that give you 0 lift. Besides stock shackles
Zero lift.
@@lowdownmedia4982 thanks for the quick response
Why?
Down travel
Because it's fun when they unload off drops. These are junk.
what a huuuuuuuuuge stretching
Ive hesrd nothing good about these
Junk
