Meh... in fairness the rear tire was lifted off the ground, no weight on the passenger side of the truck...

It wasn't too bad the pic before that was more hairy.
I was on a hill and the vehicle was tedering.

I've found in hairy spots you are almost rolling if you point your wheels towards the side that is closest to the ground you almost always recover it without having a spotter.

look close.... the lower control arm is not up against the bump stop. With a spring and shock with sufficient travel and rate there's another 1.5" before the arm hits the stop meaning another 3+" of compression at the wheel is available.

yeah yeah, rub it in

went out to a meet today in the woods and parked on a stump... flexed out and lifted a rear tire off the ground before hitting my front bump stop

I really need to put my BJ-spacers on and loosen my t-bars...

hey now... that's not my rig.
all I can say is a spring with a soft initial rate and high compression rate and a shock with dampening to match... one would not bottom out the shock on rocks, but would get the full benefit of the travel provided.
Everyone thinks that bottoming out shocks is a bad thing... but these SAS peeps have no problem bottoming out or extending their springs for the sake of 'articulation'. Oh.. "the springs are extended, but as long as the tire is touching the ground it's carrying weight"... boo boo bee boo. If that truck pivots over and puts serious weight on that tire the only thing that will dampen the inertia of the body pivoting over and will keep it from rolling over is the shocks... just like what would happen if an IFS rig was doing the same thing and floating a wheel.

yep... I'll say it here and now: SAS crawlers are taking the easy way out.

prove me wrong.
