mvusse Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I run SOA on the rear with longer shackles and I've been told my truck "flexes like crazy". I can pick any tire up 41" before another lifts, limited by my shocks. With the shocks disconnected I can go more, but then the brake hoses are too short.

mnkyboy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Same here Have you flexed it on a ramp or with a forklift to see what is limiting it? If you don't have acess to either you can bring it to my shop and flex it with the forklift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue XJ Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Same here Have you flexed it on a ramp or with a forklift to see what is limiting it? If you don't have acess to either you can bring it to my shop and flex it with the forklift. Based on that picture it looks like your rear suspension isn't doing much, the rear axle looks pretty parallel to the body still. Your front is doing all of the work. Edit: not trying to be mean, just pointing out my observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 The front definently has alot more flex then the rear. The rear is about maxxed for up travel but I think I can get a little more down travel out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 no complaints with my leaf packs either. stock 2wd packs, with a 1" lift shackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 same here. I really like my leafs. :yes: well-used 2wd packs with an extra main leaf thrown in. and that's back when my shocks were limiting my travel both up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
