Getting the Wheeling Fever
Was searching the web & came across Cantilever shackles from downey, they resemble tera revolver shackeles. My ? is if any one runs them r they worth the 200$ per axel, how mutch travel gains & if they r a direct bolt in replacement. It has a link for the tech on the site but it wont come up on my computer. thnx

That $200 is better put towards quality springs, or some other mod...

junk... pure junk...

think for just a moment backing down a steep hill and hitting the brakes hard.. they unload or worse one unloads and rolls you over on said hill.

who ever came up with this shait should be shot.... flex is way over rated. here is my back tire almost 6 feet in the air...
