Will do it again november 3rd when I have access to the ramp.

WB is stock also. I don't really care about flex that much. But a little sure helps.
What I can't understand is why rti does not take into consideration track width?
A wider track width is going to score better on an rti. I say this and my track width is about a foot narrower than most modified xj's.

Put it this way, I can drive up on a 38" Tire no problem with all three wheels on the ground. Running a 64" track width at just over 45degree articulation. What this means is that if I was a foot wider like everyone else I would be over 1200 on the rti.
If I can get my long travel bilsteins (which I need) and lca's before the 3rd it should be over 1100.
Granted I am not new at setting up suspension. So I didn't get this by just bolting something on and saying "wow, look at that!" lOl

What exactly did you set up on a stock shortarm 2.5 suspension?

I make the most of what I have. Also the rear leaf packs you buy are limited as far as flexing goes. So I stack my own leafs with a few tricks I have learned. Makes a big difference.
I could go crazy on the front if I wanted to using the stock short arms. But I don't want to put the effort in to it.
Besides running a 64" track width my front axle would be almost verticle with much more articulation
This picture is to show you the travel of the rear. This is before I modified the front. Actually I am still working on the front and my bilsteins just came in the mail
The lift is only 2.5 in and I can stuff the rear wheel as well as get it completely out of the fender well.
