Flexing a 95 runner?

How well does a stock 1995 4runner FLEX. I do have new rear springs, NO SAG.

With the sway bar attached - not terribly well. With the sway bar disconnected - a bit better, but the flex is nothing like a solid axle. You can still do some fun wheeling with IFS though. My stock 86 4runner sure seems to drag on fewer rocks than my buddies Heep "Unlimited" which has a solid front axle and flexes better than my runner...

Go try it out? I know the limits of my rig from just trying it out.

go and play around on an embankment or somthing.

you can't build your truck around an obstacle that you've never encountered.
