the rear tire is about 36 inches above level, and the flex is limited right now by the 10 inch travel shocks in the rear, which should be swapped for some 14s soon.

(i'm still not saying they're better than coils and a good link setup, but you have to admit, they work pretty well)
i know they may not flex quite as well as coils, and do not control axle wrap quite as well, but the point is they work way better than everyone made it sound like.Jes said:How does flexing them show that they work well?

i'm man enough to admit it when it sucks.Goatman said:Everyone likes whatever their running. How often have you seen someone write "I just completed xxxxxx mod to my rig and it really sucks !"
the 5 speed with 3.55 gears SUCKED and I didn't deny it, the 5-6 inch lift with short-arms SUCKED and I didn't deny it, not having money to spend on an Atlas, alloy shafts, and coilovers SUCKS and I don't deny it.

yellowxj said:try driving 6" w/ shorts, 3.55's and a auto to nevada and back with 33's. Long arms still cost 3 times what I have in lifting the front. Not saying I wouldnt rather have a nice long arm set up....front and rear...but leaves work... even on the trail
