front shackle only works on reverse arch springs, and even then it only works marginally.
on impact the natural direction for the shock to go is back. so the pivot point should be in the rear. with the pivot in the front the spring compresses, but the impact is felt in the vehicle.
on a rear shackle vehicle the impact is absorbed by the pivot of the shackle instead of transfered into the vehicle.
