Message: [QUOTE="sootie, post: 1407397, member: 8162"] basically, the two points on the axle end, make it so the axle cannot pivot up or down thus reducing axle wrap quite a bit. the shackle allows the suspension to cycle in the parobolic curve that it does, without binding. In theory, it works well. It worked on my six four when it was a tune only truck and i towed a lot. I had to switch to a solid bar when i was making a lot more power than that. Without bars, the torque twist usually causes the pinion to twist up towards the bed. The shackle type bars eliminate that BUT that same energy gets translated to pushing the axle ahead on one side and back on the other causing almost a crabwalk environment when under heavy load. Yes, my ride took a hit when i went to solid bars-not so much with the shackle type. Does that make it a bit more clear? [/QUOTE]
