the best thing i can say is, and i dont mean to sound rude, find out for yourself. i doubt anyone has used these on a luv before.
take some measurements of the rear shackle of your luv, then go to your nearest junk yard and take some measurements of some of the 4x4's and see what will work, and your probably gonna have to modify something to make it work. i looked on the page and they dont make 1 for the luv but they do make 1 for s-10s so maybe start there and see how far off they are.

What that design will do, is flip on you fairly easily, IMO. See pic on right, then look at pic on left, then imagine it as it finished inverting and looking like the opposite of the right pic. Not fun when it happens...

they give you more flex they stretch out for flex.



The TeraFlex Revolver Shackle hinges and rotates to allow leaf springs to flex and compress without additional spring stress.

this vid is on how they work and made.

Correct on the flex. And when that welded on stop bends, they flip...

Teraflex puts out some of the best 4x4 stuff on the market. Yea if the stop breaks (like any other suspension stop) some thing is going to give. The stop doesnt really support that much weight for a good weld that is probably a computer weld. Do some searches on some 4x4 forums. I am sure they are covered up in discussions about these shackles.
