teraflex shackles
I was wondering if anyone had ever tried putting the teraflex revolver shackles on their f150. I know they are meant for jeeps but if they would fit would be a nice way to get some more axle articulation.

Welcome to the site:
You are going to have to perform a shackle flip first. Your stock F150 shackle design will not accomodate a Tera-flex shackle.

It allows more droop, but the main thing is to help increase twist in spring for better articulation. Heard really mixed review about them. Don't think they work as well as they would like.

Seems like a cool idea, but it seems like on road stability would suffer a good deal. I've also heard they aren't strong enough for full sizes. I remember someone over on fsb putting them on their bronco a while ago I think - I'll have to try to find the thread.
