if theyre pinned shut they will act just like a normal shackle and there wont be dramas... he might have been referring to if theyre open they can twist a fair bit under steering loads and potentially be dangerous?

From what I have read, they may or may not accidently 'open up' when cornering, adding to body roll and making steering dangerous.

he didn't no the answer he only new what they were.
from what iv seen there just drop shackles
iv seen plenty of trucks with them in the front but the ones iv seen they pin up when on road and unpin for off road for that reason that they turn and twist.

bloody bar is in the way to really see them in this pic..
but this one shows their rear..
they appear to be pinned shut in this picture..
question to the OP...
what was YOUR reasoning to go the scissor shackles?!?
