I'll bet ya it doesn't have mad flex. Can you imagine a flexy suspension with that tall of a lift, and that small of tires? First turn in the road, it'd be on it's lid. It's not like it needs flex either...the most offroad that thing prolly sees is MAYBE some mudding. I'm gonna bet it's pretty stiff, especially with 80 billion shocks, like it has.

overkill is one thing, its better to make the truck overkill and not need the extra heavy duty stuff than to make it stupidkill

Can't say I really dig the 'stretched' tires. Looks like what the mini-truck guys do with theirs.

Ahem!! Do not lump F350 drivers or any 1ton drivers with that useless thing. Some of us actually do this thing called "towing" of things that actually weigh more than a measly joke of 5000lbs that even today's 4runners dont have snowballs chance in hell of haggling safely at even 65mph...



Incidentally our other vehicles are, and yes we use them every damn week:
'94 6.5LTD K3500
'98 Cummins 12v 3500 dodge
'05 Powerjoke F-250

It looks like it is set up for sand. Small wide tires with A LOT of extra clearance. SFA does have a drive shaft attached, so who knows, it very well could see the beach. :beach:
