Rear Flex

[fdsa487]

That real coil Jeep ain't got nuttin on my rear flex!

JUST JOKING!

for the best rear flex your best bet if you can fab would be coils, hands down but then you run into the issue of rear counter steer, unless you can do the no track bar solution.. here is what I have with a rustys 6.5 long arm with a 1.75 buget boost with shackles, not fully flexed, still full traction with 35s....

what you can do if on a budget is to use after market leafs, shackles and take a set of original leafs, cut the original leafs in half.. use the stock stuff, bolt the eye hole end to the shackle and bolt the after market leafs to the other end f the shackle, and with the stock leafs secure them to the unibody (strenghten the unibody at that point) and you will gain alot more rear flex and still be fairly cheap compared to coil overs...

If I dont make sense then excuse me because Ive been drinking heavely

JLane, I can't see your pics.... but I have slow dial up too.

Still wanting XTrmXJ's rear idea pics.....

I think he is describing a 3/4 elliptical(sp?) suspension. Do a search and you will find a lot of info. It works better on full frame trucks, you bolt half of a main leaf to the frame, and the rear of the main leaf pack to that with a shackle. It can flex really well, but can cause problems with stability off camber. It looks really cool though!

its a bandwidth thing with Webshots if you right click on the image (X) then list the url and paste it to your browser you can go to the site and view the pics, but otherwise they're only visible to a certain number of views per/hr/day or something like that

This is how I flex 38.5s

since this has to do with rough country lifts and there flex. here is mine...

it is the 4.5 inch lift with no aal...just a rough country spring pack and i am running fact shackles...and no sway bars...

and yall will love the ramp i made in the back yard...haha and i am runnin 30" tires....with fact brake lines and ebrake cables...

Is that a D30?

and 256offroad, that back isnt flexing at all. Dang...

RC springs are lame... You'd be better off with a tall ass block in the back, with stock springs...

Add-a-leafs are not the way to go, build a bastard pack... I've got RE springs in the back with revolver shackles, and the rear flexes nearly as much as the front, But that's due to the lack of ajustable LCA's and UCA's... But longarm is next.

i don't know why you guys have such problems with rough country. i can max mine out all the way. in this pic my front is maxed out, the rear driver tire is at max droop, and the rear passenger is about 1" tucked up past the edge of the fender. i'll have to try and get some pics of my rear tire stuff in there to post up here.

 

[JasonCherokee]

I will agree with the last poster. My Rough Country AAL rear will compress much more than 256's. My front will compress the coil spring until all the coils are touching.

Rear Compression.... With the Rear TJ flares and crossed up flexing I can stuff the front and rear tires all the way up into the fenders.

Front compression

yea i know i was just pointing that out...i think i should get a new shackle or something for the rear cause it sucks haha...
