So how much can you flex?

[wrecked]

Just tossing this one out there for refference. I no longer own the jeep but I sure wish I hadn't sold it.

Is that a broken shock I see underneath?

 

[wrecked]

Yes. I fell/rolled off the big center rock on Archers and caught a rock on the shock which pulled/ripped the pin from the mounting point. We tried remounting the remaining shock pin to get it back home doing a half-arse job so the rear was controlled as best as possible. It broke again mid Firebreak 5 garden.

Damnit i want longarms.

nope custom ford radius arms

scored over a 1000 on the rti

 

[JEEParon]

Long arms wont give you more flex, a properly set up short arm setup will flex just as much as long arms.

show me a pic of short arms that flexes anywhere near that

Thats the olympic 4x4 ramp isnt it? Are you running rear leaves still?

-Alex

 

[Ba-Riedo]

Oh and did you look at this thread, Xjourney, CanMan, 2xtreme and some others were all using short arms.

The reason that Jeep has that much droop is because there are no shocks on the front!! HELLO!!

As said above, take a look through the scratch and dent pic's. Hans, mine, and many others all have short arms and flex much like that (only we have front shocks on and adjusted for the wheel travel.

I see shocks...just not the right 'length' of shocks to really be worth a damn.

Flex is overrated. Too much droop and you lose sprung weight, especially on a 30 with small tires. You can have a spool in the diff, but if there's no weight on the low tire, it's not going to push anything. Err on the side of compression and sacrifice the extension.

Flex is overrated.

Amen, only retards give a damn about RTI ramps. iratefla

Beside that, 90% of XJ'ers out there think they're flex is great...




...in the front. XJ Rear leaf setups tend to suck ass.
