Well I finally got some mall crawling flex pics of my junk:
Warning for dial up people pic intesnive

My front suspension setup is 5" sky-jacker soft rides in the front with ford f-250 shock mounts and rancho RS5012 shocks

The rear suspension is a set of 63" silverado leaf springs with a stock chevy shackle and a 8" budbuilt rear shackle with rancho RS5012 shocks





















My buddy John thanks for letting me use the fork lift.

 

The other side:





Got the wheel off the ground that time

 

The limiting factor in the rear is my upper shock mounts which I need to move outboard more.
Also need more weight on the back of my truck as well.
The drivers side issue is the pitman arm likes to contact the spring so I need to get a different or flat pitman arm the IFS one drops down too much.

 

The front drivers side didn't want to flex very much.




I think it's because the pitman arm is hitting the spring which it had bottomed out on the spring in these pics.

 

sweet ride bro

 

If you need more weight in the back, try carrying more stuff back there, tool box? 2 spares?

Oh, and nice ride by the way

 

Thanks,

Ya I plan on getting a box for stuff and a bigger spare.
Also I think this winter a engine swap adding a large capcity fuel tank and probably a dual battery tray it should help some.

 

Awesome yota man! There's one similar to that one that drives around here sometimes...not as nice though.

Probably want to fix that, easy to break the sector shaft, pitman arm or spring if it rubs hard there. Mine used to hit the spring pretty hard until I added a dropped front spring hanger:

Roger,

That's a pretty cool idea but I plan on getting a sky-manaufacting flat pitman arm for mine.



The box isn't as far forward there really isn't much chance of it hitting the sector shaft nut directly it sits about 4-5" above the spring on level ground.
The end of the pitman arm bolt which sits only about 2" above the spring that hits the spring when flexed.

 

Hitting on the end of the pitman arm is the worst case, that puts the most leverage on the sector shaft in the steering box. A flatter pitman arm should help. Mine was hitting both nuts on the bottom of the pitman arm and the moving end was starting to leave a groove across the top of the spring.

 

Yikes, Ya I was cringeing when the fork was lifting the wheel and the pitman was resting on the spring.
