Kinzer and I were screwin around on my lunchbreak at work.
I need a solid axle

 

Moved to General Vehicle section.

He definitely has you beat on flex but both rigs are lookin' good.
I can't wait to get my '85 flexin' on the new OME stuff soon.

Looks to me like you both got "over" the same obstacle.

 

Only diff I see is your rear driver is off the ground. That's why you have the aussie, right

 

I like the way you think TC...

 

that is Solid Axle at left correct? I just want to be sure.

Is it safe to say that the IFS rig has slightly more ground clearance at the axle itself?

It appears the front diff hangs lower on the SAS rig. Perhaps it is just the angle.

 

ifs has more ground clearance at the diff, but the sas rig has more flex making it more stable in super off camber situtaions

 

Neither of these are totally true.

IFS has more clearance at ride height or when the suspension is drooped, but less when the suspension is compressed. One of the biggest advantages to a SFA for rock crawling is that the clearance is constant - when the tire goes up the obstacle, so does the diff.

MANY solid front axle rigs are LESS stable on off-camber situations due to soft springs and a higher COG. Many things come to play in this equation and the axle type is one of the most minor ones. Track width, COG height, and shock/spring setup are way more important.

 

I beg to differ

my ifs rig did not have a dif hanging and i do not ever recall ever getting hung up on the front axlle components like i do with my SFA rig I have now.

I agree when the ifs rigs suspension is compressed the clearances are lessoned

I do not agree with the stabilty debate I have seen many ifs rigs on there side or on there top including mine on mild obstacles and I have never seen an ifs rig that can play in this rock garden

 

Im starting a flex picture thread..

 

I'm pretty sure there is at least one, Scoobs.

 

Well I already made it

 

Well now for sure there is at least one

but no theriously I remember one....oh wellz.

 

I couldnt find one touched in the last 3 years... didnt go further back then that..

 

crazy.......

I could have sworn there was one started in the time I have been a member, not even a year.

If it was closer, I would show you at least one IFS rig that would go through there ...

 

Hell I would try it...
