Jeff you should have seen my 'flex' when we did the Maze with 1000lbs of people and gear. There wasn't much. Nice shots of yours!

I dropped a set of the TJ rear coils into the rear of the 4Runner. Doesn't prevent any droop and maybe even helps get a wheel to the ground sometimes. Certainly provides a little extra cushion on the compression side. Keeps from hitting the bumptops. Very happy with the setup. Don't think I could have asked for a better setup for what I intend to do with this rig!

My springs started off as Alcans, but as the budget went and the springs got broken are now a weird mix of odd parts and pieces. Got other parts and pieces in the backyard for the next time I get into them. Thats why I was curious about the wrangler leafs. You get some pretty good flex with what you have, for sure.

[scoutfam]

Nice by RS you mean reverse shackle right?
Yes I do :D I have to admit that I wasn't real sure that it would make any difference till I took it on the trail for the first time. All I could think was that this trail looked a lot rougher than it felt. My wheelin buddy said he couldn't believe the way my front axle was swishing back and forth but the cab stayed level. It really wasn't all that hard to do I just switched the shackle mount to the rear and made new dead eye mounts up front. It is a little more complicated than just that but you get the idea. Lots of tape measure time and welding and grinding. checking angles and checking them again. a few mistakes along the way :oops: but I love the results.

[Jimmy]

One of the things you have to watch for when doing a reverse shackles is the driveshaft not having enough compression and jamming the driveshaft into the transfer case when the axle moves rearward during suspension compression, in which case something lets go... usually the housing of the t-case.

I guess that I didn't mention that I now use a spicer double cardon d shaft out of an 87 waggy. I did a shortening on it and all was well after the SOA cut and turn. The spicer that I used has a longer travel slip yoke than the original scout d shaft and it is larger in diamater. I am guessing that it came out of the 87 waggy becasue it was sitting in the back of it. It might have come from something else because I didn't remove it myself (I love my local pull a part). I did have to shorten it by 9 inches. but for $40 I couldn't go wrong.

[Brody]

Hey Scoutman! I hope you are reading this! It would be good for you two to hook via email or phone as Scoutfam seems to have done everything that you want to do to yours and probably has some really good answers for ya...

I love those junkyard drive shafts! They always crunch them up moving the trucks around and you can sometimes get a double cardan joint shaft in good shape (minus the dings) for nothing or next to nothing. Who wants a crunched drive shaft, anyway??? Then down to Englewood Driveshaft and get it resleeved for around $100... or do a square spare for about $20. What is ever better is that all you have to do is wander around and find where someone pulled the tranny and there is your cheapo shaft just lying there on the ground. In the case of Toyotas, where the double cardan is a $400++ part and the drive shaft bolts are $5 a pop, this is a really sweet deal as the the driveshaft bolts are usually just lying there, too....

My square spare cost all of $20 worth of scrap steel and some time. The yard gave me the shaft for nothing cause it was almost bent in half. The cardan and the other u joint were real tight and in almost perfect shape. I was lucky and built in just enough play that I can use it on either the front or rear...

classic

[Brody]

Hey Sean

For a real quick and dirty flex fix for the rear, just cut the overload just behind the spring perch on the back side of the spring. The front part of the overload ends up acting like an anti wrap and you eliminate the restriction caused by the rear over load limits. Take you about 20-30 minutes with a cut off in the 4" grinder...

Just a suggestion. I wish there was another quick fix for the front IFS....

[1freaky1]

Thanks Pete, I am going to give that a try hopefully I can squeeze that in while I am waiting for the grout to dry.

[Roostercruiser]

cutting that leaf does it take away from load carring capacity.

[Brody]

You are right, Roland, but Sean is more concerned about the wheeling flex than the load carrying. I have an overload on the 63" Chevy 1/2 ton springs I just stuck under my heap. I left it in for the same reason that I suggested Sean leave the front half in...as an anti wrap spring. I didn't cut the rears of mine off yet as I wanted to see how it does with them left in. If I don't get the flex I want, the rears will get hacked as I can do that in place with no drama.

The reason I left mine in is that I have both of my batteries plus another winch back there, plus the weight of the big ******* spare, plus exo...it is a fat butt little unit...so I figure that things will even out a bit.

I was also more concerned with droop than compression. Droop I got, as I almost had to add a 6" block to my floor jack to get it off the frame stands...

I swear that this picture of your vehicle was taken in Centennial... Am I right???
Sorry for the late reply. It is at my shop in Louisville.

Brody. Billsbar is not using revolvers but just drop links like mine in the front. Revolvers have a pivot that allows the rig to articulate without spring or bushing bind or twist.

[Aaron]

Here's mine.

225,000 miles, 2 inches under stock, sway bar connected. Notice the air under the rear tire. LOL

Hey Mike I have other photos of you flexin Mommas rig if you want!

There were a few I wanted to find, then I nodded off. Old age I guess...LOL

Add one Rock Lizzard recipe (http://www.rocklizardfabrications.com/home_brew_budget_boost.htm) and disconnect the sway bars and longer shocks and bump stops and tires that reach the ground and... it still itches!

How do you get Photobucket to post the one window that plays in the post? That is one really nice feature that I don't see on other boards.

[Funrover]

Cool vids!

[Whitey Jr]

Where in Centennial would you go wheelin or field drivin? Great pictures guys!

its not in centennial but close to it. right outside buckley is and open area that has mud hills and dirt its actually pretty challenging in spots

[Screweder]

You can test your flex basically anywere... You just have to be creative :thunb: I'll show you a few places you can go Dan, specially since your so close to where I tinker with mine.

here is the new k5 flexing. It got right at 31.5 inches if height for a rti score of 865 according to 4lo.com (http://4lo.com/calc/rticalc.htm).

Pretty sweet!

What brand of springs did you use? And do you get to use the shop in the photos after hours? It is really nice...

http://www.whitescarver.com/albums/GregorysCadillac/Photo114.sized.jpg

WTF? I'd say thats a pretty good shot right there.

If you were in Lakewood there's a guy who lives maybe 2-3 minutes from me who has a couple of nice XJ's (one looks like a crawler, the other is a expedition rig) and he got a ramp. Never talked to him, just see it outside his house on the way to/from school

[Funrover]

Real flex is better IMO :thunb:

I'll contribute a couple pics from Moab last Fall. Taken on the Riff Raff obstacle on the Rusty Nail Trail. BTW, that was the toughest trail I have ever done...my seat still has a crease down the middle. Doug


Hell yeah! Tough but fun.

[WINKY]

i think your taking it a little too far there pete, looks dangerous especially on the driveway!

[Brody]

I have to admit it had me going there for a bit...LoLo, harness on, white knuckling it...whimpering...Yes...whimpering...

[scout man]

This is where mine sits right now. A few on a ramp, and about the only flexed shot I have on the trail (even though its a poser shot). may end up flexing a bit more in the future, but I am pretty happy right now.

[96blkbeauty]

My truck does not flex. Its pretty pathetic. My coils and leafs are too stiff.

You can see a few above of me next to Steve. These aren't the clearest pics to use for this, but you get the idea......

Thats a good 2-3 feet easy of flex, even taking the fact that the rear tires or up a bit higher on then where the ground starts next to the rock. All 4 wheels making contact though.

JH

[Haku]

One more of me.....

and here is some serious flex....notice that the rear wheels on the tractor are sticking up, and the cab is flat. The front wheels of the tractor were flat on the ground, which is pretty amazing. This was during the first snow storm of the year (the smaller one before the big one).....

http://dk09fg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p0wie801MruWFoeb8XLa6VLJebuIptzDAfypZ1loyThzdcJO 096cFA_x-rfVg3zmbBIT2Wvirb_I_NZgB7VkmZoZ2gsSGqZoS/IMAG0029.jpg

Pretty neat, but scary too. People slowed right down after that. I got there just after it happened, so traffic wasn't bad, but I imagine the recovery of that backed traffic up for a while. Tow truck on scene and the driver didn't seem like he was in danger.

JH

[JKimmel]

I passed that tractor right about the same time...white knuckle drive the whole way home trailer in tow :eek:
you could see how the trailer is still attached, twisted the frame in half!

[Funrover]

:eek: Don't normally see the frame bend like that

[74fj40]

who says SUA can't flex :D

[mattzj98]

my jeep with it's Rough Country 2.5" progressive coils kit, stock control arms. first photo is with 31s at T-33A, then with 33s at Johnny Park Road (photo credit- Stephen, it's also my avatar). I need to take a hammer to the inner / rear of the front fenders, I got some slight rubbing turning hard uphill.

[Brody]

Don't feel bad, Rob. After all the time, money and work I put into mine, I only get this. Rock is shown actual size for clarity.

[Aaron]

Lmao!

Hey brody.....you'll get more flex as those springs settle...:lmao:

It's always hard to capture how big a rock truly is with the camera. Looks good to me.

Hmmmmm. Maybe doing stuff like this caused the premature death of the electronic swaybar after all...:D Silly lift and tires...:rolleyes:

[Mporter]

James I know how you feel....like a couple years back on Hidden Valley Road with Chris, Bill, and Adam....3 wheel stand flexing as much as my connected sway bars would let me :frown:

[96blkbeauty]

Yup. Bronco has a cheap, stiff lift on it. That will be changing soonish.

Keeping the TTI? Have you seen some of this stuff? I like the TTI flex shots. This guy is doing it on a budget, so may have some useful info:

no idea what it is called. but it has gotten alot worse over the summer, last fall I watched a powerstoke long bed go up it, now it is scary!

yeah I had issues going up it but lockers came to rescue haha nobody else in the group managed to make it. in fact, ill post a scary pic in a sec.
