A shackle reversal creates a smoother ride. The factory shackles on your Jeep are positioned in front of the front spring. When you hit a bump, your axle automatically jerks back, but the shackles force it to jerk forward. This results in a rougher and bumpier ride. When we reverse your shackles, we put them behind the front spring, which will allow the axle to jerk back like it’s intended to.
