Whats your RTI ramp score
I know for a fact that a 38" tire is not 38" tall with an extra 1000lbs on it plus the weight of its own rig. But I thought if I would have stated a 35" tire then someone would claim it was not 35inches.
LOL Can't win
So lets quit debating something that should not even be debated. I scored a 984 and my tire I know beyond a shadow of a doubt will lift 34" without another tire off the ground.
So that equals a 40"tire with no air
A 38" tire with normal air.
Or a 34" granite rock

so you can park on a 38" tire without lifting a tire, but you can only go 34" up a ramp (by your own claim)
do you see how you are not making sense?
and besides, that rock you are on...you are not even all the way on the top. there is still a few inches of rock above the bottom of your tire.
im thinking you just need a legitimate picture on an actual ramp (like the one you say you got a 984 on.

Also you can figure your rti without a ramp. You can use a lift under the tire on flat ground(actually more accurate) Then use some math to figure your rti at 20degrees. I did this with my car rack. drove up on one arm. Lifted arm just until my rear wheel was touching enough I could not spin it. It measured 34" to the top of the arm.

well, why dont you just take a picture using a lift arm then?

So I am not going to fool with taking yet another picture until I finish my front end.
You guys from doubting me do have me on a mission. I have two weeks before the offroad event with the rti ramp. So I will get it done.
The only thing I am worried about are the new 3in springs I got. I hope they are not too stiff
They certainly look beefy.Truthfully I think 34in of flex is more than enough for the trail work I do. But you know you start getting into something and its hard to quit, you want more! LOL

If you swear that you can reach this articulation you speak of and you want us to believe you then why not spend a few minutes getting it up and snapping a picture of it. Then maybe you wont be doubted...
Now I am at the juncture of why even bother to prove something to guys doubting me on the internet? If we were in person you could see it and nothing would be said.
I am rebuilding a tranny for a guy right now and the lift is in use. IF at some point in time I feel like taking a picture, maybe I will.
But I am over it really. You can believe what you wish.
