Nice lumpy. What tires are those? Grabbers?

 

oh yeah does this count? Full stuff on the passenger, ride height drivers.

 

would doing that affect anything??? or is it ok to take the sway bar off??and thats the front sway bar right?

 

you can take it off.. but look at its name. "sway bar" it keeps your truck from having excessive body roll. Removing it does cause emergency swerves to be more dangerous but lots of people run without it. I personally would look for some quick disconnects so you can get all the flex you want offroad and be as safe as possible on the road.

 

Bone stock suspenders, 285/75R16.

LF is barely touching, RR is in the air (in Park, pushing the truck forwards makes the LF spin backwards)



It was, sadly, easy to get fully flexed


Yeap, things thar be a little tight...



IFS view

 

Personally... If you can afford it... Get some good high end replacement shocks like something from bilstein, not gabriel, monroe, rancho, pro comp, etc... I mean a decent gas charged monotube shock! Get the nice higher end shock and then pull your sway bars.

You'll still have more body roll then stock but the shocks will help control the truck a lot better and sort of offset the negative side affects on the pavement. In the dirt, running without sway bars is a night and day difference!

I sort of want to post a flex shot of my jeep... LOL

But I'm in the midst of doing a MAJOR change to my 2wd truck and when it's finished I'll make sure to use the loading dock here at work to stretch it out. Let's just say it will probably turn some heads! Too bad it's probably going to be easily another few months till it drives under it's own power again! LOL The rear axle will have a spool so screwing around on the loading dock should be interesting cause as long as a rear tire is on the gound I'll still have drive power.

 

My 2000 Cherokee had no sway bars, but it also had much stiffer springs than stock since we campaigned it in JeepSpeed offroad racing (articulation was limited). Street manners were great.

My full-size 88 K5 Blazer flexed awesome. With the swaybar disconnected, you could really tell how a stiffer shock helped. I had Rancho RS9000s and in soft, you could drag the door handles around corners. In firm, it had bettter street manners - but! - only as long as it was a short curve. In sweepers, it ended up just as leaned over, it just took a smidge more time. But not good manners.

The swaybar always got reconnected for pavement duty.

Factory replacement shocks aren't even close to as stiff as the 9100s I ran on the Cherokee (18" stroke in the rear).

My 4Runner understeers quite a bit with the stock swaybar and the rear wants to come around on fast corners. Where i live, its all curves to the trails - great motorcycle roads. The swaybars are not coming off. In fact, I want bigger one up front and add one to the rear; the way the rear tries to come around is a bit unnerving. An emergency lane change would be entirely too exciting for this daily driver ( the Cherokee was a daily driver too).

Do people do it? All the time.

I know its a poser pic but i think its got pretty good front end flex it wasn't even maxed out i had room on both sides for more.

 

blazeland long travel, in 2wd mode

And in 4wd mode

 

Ok, it's been a while...

 

Looks good BBP.

86' love the 2wd flex pics. Hah!

Messin around in the drive way today. Maxed out the jack, could have gone more.

 

How did you get the jack UNDER the tire....lol

 

drove onto it?

 

RERE is actually the last living relative of the sasquatch and he can lift up a corner of a 4runner with three fingers

 

^Chuck Norris could do that with his pinky finger
