If people would like to make constructive comments on the pros and cons of these shackles, feel free...

Otherwise, go troll somewhere else

Why do you need more travel? Are you getting stuck on trails? Do you have lockers?

I suggest you research 3/4 elliptic setups if you are set on get big flex out of it, but please don't get carried away and sacrifice stability for the sake of big flex and keep it sensible. I would never reccomend wacky shackles to anyone, so please consider a 3/4 setup instead.

Look up terra flex I've got a set and love them.

You find most people will talk shit about them. I wonder how many people have driven them for extended periods? I could drive tracks much safer with them installed tracks that normally where un passable without going flat chat and almost rolling.
(and this car had king springs, aftermarket shocks ,31's with lockers all round)

Haha I'm still copping crap for the calmini stuff and there's barely a recognizable calmini part on the car now. In hind sight I would still buy the shackle reversal kit but that's about it.

Fwiw the superior engineering shackles are the ones you're after with the pivot.

If your not in a hurry the terra flex ones from the states are much cheaper though
