I just came across these on 4x4parts.com

I was wondering if anyone on here was running them and how they performed. My buddy with a toyota has been drooling over them and said i should get a set. I would just like to see other peoples opinion on them and if their required extra parts are really required.

I already have longer shocks and about 5 inches of lift via aal's. I can get brake lines cheap, id just like to know why they say you have to have the aals.

maybe just to stiffen the leaf pack so you dont just de arch them like any other shackle? maybe the revolver shackles are even harder on the leaf springs

Could be. With the leafs i have in there, they should be fine. Id just have to make the abs lines longer and get longer brake lines. I think ima have to go for it when i get some spare money.

might as well be the guinea pig would like to see it if you ever show up to a meet:crib::nana:

ahaha, I'm planning on being the guinea pig as soon as i get some spare cash for them and some brake lines.

Brutal had them on his rig for a while before his current setup, he seemed to like them.

Here is some information from Greg at PRG expressing his thoughts:

I understand where greg is coming from in his posts and it does make a lot of sense. I could run them and take out the overload. I have some pretty long shocks in there already. I just need a bit more articulation for the rear to keep up with the ts i have planned for the front.

Ive had them for a couple years. I like em, you dont have to extend the abs lines, just take out of brackets as neccessary and loosly tie strap. You will "clearance" the front of you rear fender, along with the brackets for the gas fill and charcoal can, the first time you really open them up off road.
