and I'm still waiting on a pic of you ramping that high, or a pic of you on a 38" tire.
I never said I didn't change anything else. I just didn't say.

And I will get you a picture. Btw a full 38" of tire off the ground would be a score of 1100@20 degrees with a 101 wheelbase. That is my goal.

Yep. LOL. How do you think I kept breaking spiders?

It was exactly as I said. And this is no different.

Since then I have talked with several people who understood what I was talking about. You would think with all these guru's in here it would be the same.

I know, you are just trying to make me feel special!

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.

Hey. Stop being an ahole and give us advice on how to improve flex on a 2in stock arm lift to drive onto a 38in tire. Everybody here gives advice and shares info with everybody. Its a family oriented Jeep comunnity and you are not contributing. When I find a way to improve my Jeep I share it with everybody. Whats up?

He probably just broke his shackles for more flex, kinda like how he broke his spider gears to get both front tires to spin.

Just got done reading this thread...you guys are hard on the man lol...lots of things are possible, I don't know about the flex but line locks will give you traction with the two wheels off the ground and open diff(Need the pressure adjustable kind though).

sure, it may work as a slight traction "aid" but it will not act like a locker.

No of course not, just saying its possible is all...and like I said I know nothing of suspension. I don't know who would even want to go through the effort when lockers are available.

LOL I stand by my statement even though I have a front locker. Which the only reason I have one is because I was breaking spider gears. Wanted a true track but could not afford one.

Where was I being rude? and ktm and n20 are not doing the same thing I am. So why would you say they wasted their money?

I simply said I scored a 984 on a rti. Thats ALL I said. You guys like drama, that is for certain! I never said my set up was better or worse than anyones?

I hate to see the responses when I actually achieve my goal of 1100! holy cow the thread will go out of control

Yea, LOL I was doing it when I broke the last set of spiders! I have a picture, but you can not tell anything.

This is some info for some of you that may not know this. Now this method works enough, but I went through spiders doing it. But it can get you unstuck.

If you have one front and one back off of the ground. You can apply your brakes to help assist the front wheel on the ground to turn enough to get you unstuck or off high center. I have done this many times. But again it will eventually break your spiders and or carrier in my experience.

You have to very firmly press on the brake, I mean mash it. Then power through the brake. This fools the open front locker(since it gets most of the breaking power) into not sensing which tire is the ones without traction. Its not fun to do but it does work.

Eaton tru traks advertise this and they are built much better and are supposed to do it easier.

Anyways Its not an argument, it works period. And anyone who says it does not just does not know.
But its not a cure all. Its just used basically in a have to situation. My problem is once I learned the technique, I couldn't stop using it. And I paid the price.

it works as much like a locker as the eaton true trac....which works just like any other limited slip.

Yea, I mean it sucks as compared to fully locked. But it depends on what you are doing.

Having the locker up front is a nice no brainer thing. But there are a couple negatives to a locker that I noticed.

If I were able to afford what I wanted I would probably go with a tru trak front and rear. but my rig is an adventure rig daily driver. Not a crawler.
