I would like to thank Randy and Sean for showing up today! Definately made what was to be a bleak day... OUTSTANDING!!! I'll also add some photos of the day when I can get them on computer :)

[Screweder]

Thanks to Randy, Sean got to make some new friends on this private property... :lol:

[WINKY]

oh yeah that ahole.... yeah i took a left onto a shoot and didnt see any signs at all, then saw that it was dudes driveway, he comes out with his wench... i told him it was a wrong turn but i think he chewed out sean... when we came out i saw a LITTLE no trespassing sign (literally 10"x10" small) tucked against the wall of dirt that was to our left when we made the turn... you could only see it coming from the other direction... oh well he can go eat his wheaties that i pee'd in.

[4Runninfun]

It doesn't seem to, lol. But my back flex is EPIC! So when I do my SAS, I should be golden! http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1/greenramp/norris.gif <--- Love the Chuck, and the Chuck'll love you lol

[4Runninfun]

do you still have the front sway bar on that thing?

[H3_Mafia]

Awesome pictures! How long did it take for you guys to do this run from start to finish?

[Brody]

Nice pictures! Thanks for the report! I wish I could have gone! Gotta finsh my front end hydro and rebuild before I go on another run! Next weekend for sure! Glad that you all had a good time!

As to Young Chris' flex on the front, we looked at that when he was over at my house and it looks like the front stock bump stops are limiting the flex to a large degree. There is only a couple of inches of flex before the stops hit. It has been so long since I had my IFS with the same lift that I forgot what I did, but I sure had a lot more flex than that. It could be that the front shocks are also limiting flex, too, and we discussed using the Ford towers to allow for longer shocks to be mounted. I think that the limiting straps in the back aren't right either and need to be dropped down, too.We both agreed that the stops should be cut down quite a few inches to allow all the flex there could be. It will be addressed in the near future...

I had a blast guys eventhough it started off a little tence and i couldnt figure out why till i signed up on here. It was fun and as of last night no wories about the ex girl stuff. would deffinatly go with this group again.

[WINKY]

well as long as you learn your lesson, ex's are just that ex's and should be left alone by friends. never let a woman between a friendship no matter how good the tang is.

and welcome to the group by the way.

[Screweder]

Honestly if you look at the photos of me perched on that rock... I have no movement at all in my front suspension. Brody, look man.... :mad: Its not even touching those bumpstops. Jon W. suggested I might need to grease up a little bit down there to get some more play... More work for Wednesday, yay.

I saw that! If I am not working Wednesday and you want to drop by, maybe we can do a little work on this and try to get you some flex on the front end. Like I said, I don't remember what I ended up doing to mine, but with the same lift, I sure had a lot more flex than you have...Shoot me a PM later on and I'll see what I have going on...

[WINKY]

or you could just do a solid axle swap.... :lol:

[Screweder]

Gotta get by without the SAS until the $ comes flowin lol.

[Funrover]

Great pics, sounds/looks like a great time was had!

[Screweder]

So I was talking with Aaron before I left work today and we discussed my IFS having no flex. Aaron had a great idea... He seems to suspect my torsion bar was torqued up, causing my front end to have no play what so ever.
