Plans for better front end flex
 
So my plan is to gain some more flex out of my front suspension. Here is the list of new things to buy, does this sound good or am I leaving parts out?
Thanks

- RC Long Arm Kit
- RC Trac Bar
- JCR Offroad 1 Ton Steering
- Hockey Puck bumstops
- Longer shocks as per Ktmracer's bumpstop and longer shock method.
- Longer brake lines

With more articulation, you'll want to install some longer brake hoses. 1995 Jeep Wrangler brake hoses are 3 inches longer than stock and are relatively cheap. Wouldn't want to tear a brake hose on the trail

hockey puck bumpstops are going to limit your flex, not help it.

Forgot to add that to the list, thanks.


As for the pucks, not according to this-

not true. they limit up travel but also provide a point to push off of to give other side more down travel
