  Buchanan and Shackle on Cost and Choice
Shackle was both directly and indirectly associated closely with the London group.
Shackle reviewed a couple of Robbins’ books and there is evidence that he read carefully a 1938 paper by Robbins on methodology (and mysteriously deemed it "very badly spelt").
White also expressed concern that Shackle was, in effect, reducing courses of action to single values at the final stage of decision, by characterising each action in terms of the numerical difference between focus gain and loss, and then comparing these differences and choosing the action with the greater difference.

 Pros and Cons of Shackle Reversal
The CJ always had the shackle forward there and it is hard to decide whether Jeep engineers were just unwilling to try new things or intentially built civilian Jeeps shackle forward.
The purpose of a shackle reversal is to allow the tire move backwards easily when it hits a bump to smooth out the ride.
With the shackles forward, if you hit a rock dead on, there is a possibility of bending the spring and the shackle will not slide easily over the rock.

 Shackle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
This longer version of a D shackle is used to attach halyards to sails, especially sails fitted with a headboard such as on Marconi rigged boats.
Headboard shackles are often stamped from flat strap stainless steel, and feature an additional pin between the top of the loop and the bottom so the headboard does not chafe the spliced eye of the halyard.
One of the uses for this shackle include attaching the jib halyard block to the mast, or the jib halyard to the sail, to reduce twist on the luff and allow the sail to set better.

 Shackle Reversal
For this shackle reversal I purchased some steel, from a local metal shop, they will sell you their scraps dirt cheap, or their stock steel for usually book price, and they also will usually order it for you if they are not carrying it.
You want your shackle to be straight up and down with no weight on it, if you are doing this to your already built jeep, then just mark your frame on top for the mount.
Reference that point that you will mark to the spring shackle bolt (It will be an angle from that) how much angle will be up to you and your placement on top of the frame (You will want to keep it close to stock).

 4Crawler Offroad - Custom Spring Shackles
Common thicknesses are: 0.375" for the '89-'95 Toyota pickup rear shackles, 0.700" for the '79-'85 Toyota front shackles, 0.375"/0.500" for the Tacoma rear shackles.
So, the shackle is designed to rotate back and forth to make up the difference between the fixed distance from the front to back spring mounting points on the frame and the variable distance between the spring eyes.
The shackle plate with the anti-rotation tabs should ideally be on the same side as the head of the bolt, but it can be placed on the side with the nut if desired.

 Shackle Reversal
When building a drive shaft for a shackle reversal application, it is important that the drive shaft be built to accommodate the full range of travel through the suspension.
With a shackle reversal there are other factors to consider also: If the springs are flat the drive shaft will usually compress only minimally but extend a great deal.
On a shackle reversal set-up, I recommend that you measure for length of the shaft at all possible suspension positions.

 Interview with G.L.S. Shackle
SHACKLE: Well, I don't think it can really be said to have started until a small group of us went down to Cambridge on a Sunday afternoon in October 1935.
SHACKLE: Well, I think the opposition was because the book's object was to overturn the established theory of value, which it did.
SHACKLE: It really does right down to the philosophical bedrock because if we claim that every choice can be completely explained by or wholly accounted for via circumstances and tastes and if you like, by knowledge, then we are living in a determinist world.

 Slave Shackle, Kansas State Historical Society
This shackle is a very rare artifact and illustrates the efforts of both Blacks and Whites in opposing slavery.
On the other end of the chain--about 5 ft from the shackle--was a heavy iron ball weighing about 20 lbs which the Negro (when going to or from his work) was obliged to carry by placing the chain over his shoulder with the ball hanging behind.
In 1893 he donated it to the Society as "a memento of slave times." It is on display at the Kansas Museum of History.

 Shackle Reversal Systems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
In stock form (shackles in front of the front axle housing) when the front tire comes in contact with an obstruction, the impact is partially transmitted back to the frame via the solid rear pivot point.
When the shackle is reversed to behind the front axle, it will swing rearward and the tire will move slightly aft as the suspension compresses.
Your stock shackles are retained, however, if they have a welded in center brace that is set-up for 2" wide springs, it will have to be cut-out.

 MORE Shackle Reversal - Buggy Spring Suspension Review
By "shackle reversal" we mean that the pivoting shackle normally found on the front of the spring is moved to the rear and the fixed mount normally found on the rear is moved to the front.
The forward mounted shackle in the normal configuration helps combat brake dive because as the shackle moves back with braking it tends to fight the compression of the spring (raises the spring rate).
While with the shackle reversal as the shackle moves back it tends to cause more compression in the spring (lowers the spring rate).

 Suzuki 4x4 - Product Reviews: Canyon Sates Components Shackle Reversal and Wrangler Spring Conversion
By the nature of their arched design, leaf springs become longer as they are compressed and shorter as they expand, so a shackle must be used on one end of the spring to allow for this movement as the wheels travel over uneven surfaces.
With a shackle reversal, the spring's solid mount is moved to the front of the spring, while the shackle is relocated to the rear of the spring.
Mount the supplied shackles between the plates with the included 9/16" bolts such that the smooth side of the shackles (the side with the part number stamped into the metal) is oriented to the rear of the vehicle.

 CK5 Forums - Shackle Flip Stability
If essentially the shackle is reversed (down instead of up), it is no longer than the original, and both the shackle and bracket are stronger, I would assume the shackle flip would be more stable, than say a regular shackle with a 4" lift block.
Further more, when the shackle reaches some point behind vertical, but before horizontal, the shackle is going to line up with the force (vector) from the spring which was previously causing the shackle to move.
Now, with the shackle arranged as a compression shackle, the spring eye moving back is causing the shackle to start to act as a lever which actually makes it easier for the spring to flatten out.

 Shackle Reverse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
On road, the ride is smoother since the forces generated by bumps is soaked up towards the rear mounted shackle instead of straight up into the frame.
For hardcore four wheeling, a military wrap shackle is highly recommended to keep the spring from being bent when the front axle walks forward.
You would think all YJ spring packs are equal but from what I have seen they vary enough to throw the shackle angle off when replacing spring packs.

 Fiber Optic Sheave & Shackle
The new sheaves are available in three sizes to accommodate the bending radius of the most common sizes of fiber optic cable; a 24-inch sheave, 32-inch, and 40-inch split sheaves.
The underground shackle is uniquely designed with a moveable anti-pinch pin to accommodate all three sheave sizes.
Both are designed to be lightweight, the underground shackle weighs just 20 lb (9 kg) and the aerial shackle just 16 lb (7 kg).

 Gray, F. A. Hayek and the Rebirth of Classical Liberalism, continued: Library of Economics and Liberty
On the other hand, he continues to recognize that in respect of complex phenomena such as are found in the social studies, testability may be a somewhat high-level and protracted process, and the ideal of high empirical content captured in a nomothetic framework—a demanding and sometimes unattainable ideal.
First, nothing in Shackle's argument tells against the point, defensible both on theoretical grounds and as an historical interpretation, that in practice by far the most destabilizing factor in the market process is provided by governmental intervention.
Secondly, and relatedly, it is unclear that the kind of disequilibrium of which Shackle speaks—disequilibrium generated by divergency in subjective expectations—could amount to anything resembling the classical business cycle, which is more plausibly accounted for in Austrian and Hayekian terms as a consequence of governmental intervention in the interest rate structure.

 4x4Wire - Full Traction Suspension Shackle Reversal Kit
A shackle reversal basically swaps the position of the pivoting shackle on the front of the spring to the rear and the fixed mount in the rear is moved to the front.
With the shackle reversal configuration, when you hit a bump, the spring gets pushed up and back and the as the spring compresses, it travels towards the rear, thus resulting in a smoother ride.
To install the rear shackles, remove the rear shackle bolts and lower the springs until they drop out of the hangers.

For the shackles themselves, thread the rubber washers and shackle screw pin through the bow shackle and through the shackle hanger eyelet.
For the Sonoran Steel shackle hangers, the width of the shackle hanger itself (A) is 1" wide.
Thus, I needed to select a shackle whose width is greater than 1" (1 1/4") and whose shackle bolt diameter is smaller than 1" (7/8").

Hey, they served their purpose, but it was time to do it right, the ORD brackets bolt to the frame in the factory spring hanger holes and "flip" the factory tension shackle over to a compression shackle.
Since the brackets are designed to move your shackle mounting point forward for the proper shackle angle, it is important that the brackets go on the correct side.
I was very impressed with the quality of the shackle flip as well as the greasable bushings, all the holes in the flip kit lined up perfectly and the new bushings dropped into place.

From the factory, the front spring shackle is mounted at the front of the springs.
By moving the shackle to the rear of the leaf springs, the suspension can use the shackles as well as the springs to soak up bumps and jars.
The original front-mounted shackles don’t do a great job of absorbing shockloads, and the bushings in the frame usually wear out with about 30,000 miles of use.
