XJ Revolvers can be used up front and in the rear IF you do a shackle inversion in the rear....

Severe amounts of droop in articulation is gained and about 1" of lift

All you have to do is go to "search" and search keyword "revolver" in the general discussion as well as the tech forum. Make sure to search entire thread and not just titles. I got over 100 hits of good info. If you have any problems don't hesitate to ask. Oh yea, here's what revolvers front and rear will do for ya.

Mine will do similar on the pass side, but still need to get a high angle front shaft and notch some of my cross member for the drivers side to flex better. I wish I never started this $$$$$$$ project! Dennis

RockJeep44 - I imagine after the revolvers you discovered other items that limited your travel (brake lines, shocks, sway bar).

angrytroll - If you do use these to increase articulation double check what will be the next limiting factor. If it's your brake lines you need to get longer ones! There is another couple of threads about using Chevy blazer brake lines from certain years.

Right now my limiting factor is my sway bar.

Right now my limiting factor is my sway bar.If your going to buy brake lines. IMHO don't waste your time and money on rubber lines that will swell when braking. Buy the extended Stainless braided brake lines.
