I knew this was gonna turn into a debate. haha good explanations to each argument. I like the ratio explanation 4crawler makes perfect sense.

 

Haha this thread is stirring up some good info from all sorts of wheelers on YT.

4crawler agrees with my prerunning setup, I think my life is complete now

 

best of both sounds good to me, but if I could only have one, droop for the win.

 

nah thats why you tub the wheel wells

(Coming from a prerunner guy, I really want that to be my next big mod )

 

Uptravel is important when you are trying to "soak" up a bump. Referring to previous posts, that 50/50 droop to uptravel ratio works well for prerunners that aren't depending on droop to go through something like the Golden Crack. It is all application based how we rank the 2 in importance.

I know this because of this great thread

 

finally I make a useful thread. Not sticky status. But I am happy.

I am surprised there really isn't a thread on here like this as well. But then again if droop is somewhat more important in crawling applications and since there isn't many prerunner guys on here, I can see how that would happen.

 

I know what you mean. I like Yotatech's "feel" a lot better than the other sites more dedicated to prerunning. There is still a wealth of info on here for people like me when members like PismoJoe post their experiences.

 

personally I am more of a prerunner and SCORE guy, but it's so much fun to crawl as well. But not too many places out here to "prerun" anyway.

Maybe one day I will have a crawler and a prerunner. hehe.

 

All the 'droop' points stated so far are completely accurate so i wont be redundant.

Althought got another one =) Even if the unsprung tire is still touching the ground theres still some weight on the tire and is still providing more traction than if it were completely in the air.

Having gone from IFS to solid axle the improvement overall is undeniable. It just does more and I feel a helluva lot safer doing it.

 

Yeah yeah I'm a loser, don't rub it in

 

hahahaha

 

Do we need to start "The Yotatech Losers (Prerunners) Club"? My 3" of IFS droop will beat SAS any day
