Got em on ebay for cheap
Regardless it scores 984. For whatever that means! LOL
Still the rti score is a rough figure because it does not take into account track width.

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.

So no bumpstops and skinny tires on street rims. Is that what I need? And could you tell us what are these tricks for the rear leafs?

Most people run bigger lift kits. It's harder in my opinion to get the same results unless you go with a long arm set up.

your job doesnt allow any fun.
umm, drill new holes in the leaf springs? or new holes in the perches/u bolt plates?

This does two things. It helps axle wrap, and it allows better articulation.

so, nothing with the shackles or mounting points? and nothing with the front?
I don't see anything special
and I'm still waiting on a pic of you ramping that high, or a pic of you on a 38" tire.

When I get 1200 on the on the rti running leafs and short arms you can keep telling yourself it can't work
I will post pics the 3rd when I have the rti ramp. Funny I didn't think 984 was a big deal?

Fortunately I just have to go by the results. Like I said I am not going into details so that way no one tries to replicate what I have done and screws something up.

Maybe one day KTM and N20 can gather enough knowledge to undestand that they wasted all this time and money to build their crappy rigs, when all it really takes is some drilled leafs and stock shortarms.
By the way, everyone on this forum is trying to help one another. Why are you being rude and holding out on info that would make our rigs perform better?
