N8......sick!

 

flexin the new 34" ltbs

 

I did my best to get a before/after shot after installing some Energy Suspension low profile bump stops.

Here's my front flex with the stock bump stops. Back wheel is up on a rock:


Here is the same pose with the new low profile bump stops.

 

Another spot from this weekend:

Nice flex Ocell! Low pros FTW!

 

A little Snow Play

 

 

Parked on a little snow mound outside Subway was hungry lol

 

 

Glad to see some post. This thread and this forum is dying.....

 

I'm getting poopy flex even with both sway bars removed. Oh well, I think my leafs are worn out.

 

Wow it looks like something is seriously hindering your rear flex.

 

Not sure what it is. There is some lift blocks on the rear but idk if that would affect the flex. Like I said, sway bars are already removed. Rear bump stops are also gone.

The truck was lifted like this when I bought it, maybe the previous owner didn't install extended shocks??


Any ideas?

 

It depends on your priorities.


I'm not doing all the "extreme" stuff so IFS has been fun. I'm also driving my truck around town, nearly daily, so I appreciate the road manors of IFS.

I've got 4.88 gears with 31" tires and a stock t-case, so nothing has exploded on me yet. Yeah, if you want an extreme rock crawler SAS is the way to go.

But this thread isn't about that debate. This thread is about getting the most travel out of an IFS setup for those who have decided that IFS will get us where we want to go, and sharing the results (or looking for help).

 

why would you dog ifs on an ifs flex pic thread? The benefits and cons of ifs and sas have been beaten to death more than enough times. It all comes down to how you wheel and what you wheel. There is no need to bash ifs and say they are trash, obviously if you say that you have never used it correctly and fully. The fact that you put that high of gear and probably much too large of a tire with a reduced tcase is why you break ifs. Look at long traveled rigs, they get the piss beat out of them and withstand.

 

just playing on a little rocky hill climb

 

fits like a glove.

its not flexed, and I apologize for stepping off topic a little bit guys. but i had to share so much for girls can't park eh?

 

it all depends on your type of wheeling. i dont see how you are breaking the front diff ring gears>??? obviously you dont know how to rock crawl since the world crawl means slow. not everyone needs a SA for their type of wheeling. see so many on this forum go striaght to a SAS and all the wheeling pix i see are on fireroads and rocks that a IFS could have handled. i follow SA guys on rocks in my IFS and had just as much fun if not more since its more of a challenge. point and drive gets old with over build rigs. maybe not for simple minded people but i like a challenge

i love this picture and i need to get out to get some new ones hehe

 

dont see much girls wheeling. is that hollister hill?
