I need straps lol

 

Those are limiting straps

 

Itll flex until I hit the top of my wheel well. Need to lift it higher lol

 

lol... no lift it higher won't improve flex, flex is much better used in "droop travel" and keeping center of gravity low.

 

Got some good flexing going on in this thread so I figured I woudl throw mine the mix. It's a 2000 Cherokee with a Clayton 6 inch lift, but I think it's more like a 4.5" Pro Series 3 Link on the Front and 4 Link in the rear with JK Rubicon Axles and 35" Good Years. Fenders are cut for Notch Custom Flares and I ditch the PITA Quick Discos for the WAAAYYYY Better Dual rate Sway-Loc Bar from Off-Road-Only. I haven't installed the limit straps yet, but it needs to happen if I opt to keep the shocks and ride height.

P.S Sorry to hear about the guys who had some bad experiences with FST. I haven't done much business with them, but the one time I had purchased, it took much longer than anticipated and wasn't impressed with the included instructions. Clayton has been great to work with and their kit went together really well. It requires a fair amount of welding, so buy another tank of gas and an extra spool of wire and take your time. But you won't regret it when your done.











I didn't take any measurements for an RTI, it was raining and we were anxious to get back on the road and head home. It had just a little more to climb, but the back end fleet like it was getting light so I figured I must have been close to maxing out.

 

Uh having bigger springs, longer shocks, and extending my brake lines will improve my flex yes. If you wan COG low then throw on some wheel spacers and trim your fenders. We must have different understandings of "flexing". That's fine haha.

 

Flex before the lift:







Flex after the lift:

 

Looks good! Where in Jersey is that?

 

Pictures 1, 5, and 6 are at a spot off Troy Meadow Rd in Parsippany, pictures 2 and 3 are in Connecticut near my friend's house, and pictures 4 and 7 are at 14th Ave Pier, Seaside Park, NJ.

 

Nice. I miss Jersey sometimes. The pizza especially. I was born and raised in jersey. Then I joined the Army

 

Jersey is alright. I'd rather be south than north, but no complaints, really.

 

mine

 

^Lookin good!

Droop for days!! How is it that it'll drop that far and still have room to compress that shock on the otherside?! Is your shock still hooked up or are you limiting up travel by your shock body? Also, will your coil re-seat every time?

 

Na his coil won't reseat every time unfortunately lol. He's not running any limiting straps or bump stops. His shock was fully compressed on the other side. With him running Clayton's 3link system with no limiting straps and 8" lift shocks his axle was able to drop all the way out and he's running 6 or 7" lift on 33s there. He just stepped up to 35s so were gonna be making some changes and will eventually end up doing bump stops for sure and maybe limiting straps he has ACOS on the front so were gonna try achieving the lift needed to flex the 35s. If needed he will step up to bigger coils. It also hasn't been cut on any at all so if we have to we can do some cutting to ensure we have all the room we need. This thing is currently under the knife undergoing some major changes and upgrades. This thing is a beast and he's got alot of money invested in it. His money was spent in all the right areas and no corners were cut and he keeps adding more and more everyday.

 

Here is my 2000 with 4.5" RC coils and Fst 3 link on the front
