Google; you'll find TONS of opinions. Personally, I prefer the stock location of the shakle, but it's one of those never ending arguments among jeepers (like SOA vs SUA, Warn vs Superwinch/Ramsey, Goodyear vs BFG, etc.)
Hello,I put one on my 73 cj 5 and feel it really helped the trackibility. it would chase rabbits before now it holds a line .it had a shackle lift on there before but when i switched it over the reversal system added a couple inches lift so i no longer needed the extended shackle so maybe that had some affect on the wandering before.Im sorry that i dont know which one cured the problem but the problem is solved.It also feels like it takes bumps a little smoother also but its an old cj so its still no cady.Hope that helps.Good luck.
