Nothing too dramatic here. Was my first run on the new build (Old was OEM arms, 3", open/open, and 31's) so I was still getting a feel for the new setup.

I'm sorry, but what really got my attention here was the suspension setup (mini 4-link and coilovers) for the RTI ramp axle. :dunce:

Re: RTI Ramp Questions!
Hey guys, glad to see you noticed the 4-link and coilovers on the ramp! There's a couple reasons for it:
1.) You can't see it in the previous pictures very well, but there's a screw-jack above the coilovers so I can lift the ramp off the ground, and tow it as a trailer, and the 4-link gives enough travel for that to happen.
2.) Being towed as a trailer, it rides REALLY nice! Ever seen a fixed axle trailer going (more like bouncing) down the road? This thing pulls like a dream!!
3.) MOST IMPORTANT!! 'Cause how many RTI ramps have a 4-link, coilovers, and 35's - it's just cool, and it makes people ask WHY? :shocked:
Oh, and since we're supposed to post some pics of FLEX.... Here's one I built a while ago... Too much to list, but here goes...
- 7.5" RE Longarm Lift Kit
- Bushwacker Cut-Out Fender Flares
- Modified Bumpstops to limit upward travel an extra 2"
- Almost-Full-Width Axles (Ford 8.8" Rear, Currie Hi 9" Front)
- 35" Swamper TrXus M/T tires
- Then everything else, TNT Frame Stiffeners, Internal Cage tied into Stiffeners, Custom Crossover Steering, Custom Track Bar, Custom Hydro Assist with AGR pump, ARB's front and rear, On-Board Air, Atlas 4-speed Transfer Case, Bilstein Shocks, Chromo Axles all around, Super Joints, Chevy Disc Brakes & Calipers on Ford Hubs to keep 5 on 5.5" bolt pattern, also to match rear Ford 8.8" with the Super 88 kit... and the list goes on, but suffuce it to say it's got the best of the best!!

This shows the RK with 35's pretty well. The commentary is by Paintchecker. He thinks I'm in two wheel drive at first.(some of you may understand this)
Longarms don't always flex better than short by the way....
