I just wish they would come see something really haunted. Come here to the top of devil worshipers mountain to their old burned down mansion and take a brick.

A group of us went out there one night and got lost for like 3 hours... Now that was scary ****. I dont believe in most of this kind of stuff, but after a friend of mine took a brick from the foundation and almost died in a car accident a week later, i dont mess with it.. My grandmother also took a rose bush from there and planted it in her garden. That year everything in the garden died.


And it appears they already know about it.

You guys that run 10in shocks are about a foot wider than me. that is a huge difference as far as flex goes. When you are narrow you have to flex a lot more to equal the same.

Here are my 10in bilstiens maxed out on the front. One side is bottomed, the other is extended all the way. I really need 14 in shocks and My control arm angle straightened out. So I will be working on it.

On the rear my 9 in shocks are max extended. I have inner fender tire rubbing issues that I loose 2in of travel. Which is the distance that my bumps are not touching. So with 1/2in spacers for the wheels and 1.5in blocks, as well as relocating the shocks I could gain it all back easily.

Plus my track bar is holding the left front from dropping an inch and a half further. Will fix that also.

Just messing around today.

Was really amazed it would climb up on the culvert without even slipping a tire.

With sway bars on your jeep would literally roll over trying this. Flex does help there is no doubt.

I don't see any reason for more flex than you have in those pics

Thats how you do the rti, you go up the ramp until the tire is just barely on the ground. Although half the pictures I see the tire is off the ground.
measuring a little high there buddy, the bottom of your tire is a little below the lift arms.
