Can't help on the sources but lift shackles are not usually
reccomended: They tend to bend the spring mounts as well as
screw up the caster.

I just read that again.

I thought you were going to off rod your rig, not put it on a show
floor.

I have seen those TSL 'stuckbirds' in action once. I 'really' felt
sorry for the poor Jeep driver. His 3 or 4 passengers were out pushing
him across some muddy grass while a Pontiac Acadian full of kids drove
in circles around him just pissing themselves laughing!

As far as I know those tires are 'show' tires only, they 'sure' won't go
anywhere on our Ontario trails.

Hi Mike,

He didn't specify Interco TSL Thornbirds. Just guessing, but he's
probably interested in Interco TSL Super Swampers:
