Sad IFS Flex =) 56k unfriendly?

[ozziemo27]

Just attempting to flex with my unmodified IFS, lol! Wanted to see how close my stock tires get to the fenders, gonna upgrade to 33"s after a 1.5"ish torsion crank and shackles in the back. Hope I don't need to trim. Never tried it before. Heard all kinds of creaking noises i've never heard, it was neat.

I dont like to be critiqueing other people's stuff, but that is a bit sad. She's stiff. But I'm sure You'll get her into a bit better shape as far as flex goes. She's purty

Looks like you've got about 2" of travel on the front. woohoo for SLA

Clean truck tho!

FYI when you crank the torsions they will get stiffer=less flex.

yea, I know, but i don't do much wheeling involving much suspension travel, mainly just running through mudholes around town, etc. the more clearance is more valuable to my wheelin' needs, if you will =P

Oh come on! You've got at least another 3/8" left in there. You need to find a bigger (ant) hill


Sigh....

had a bent axle shaft, my buddy and i took the shafts out of that axle and threw it on the axle on the truck, so, now my wheels don't wobble anymore!

maybe a SAS in the future, but thats far beyond my imagination and skill level right now, would be awesome though!

yeah find you a bigger hill and youll get more out of her.

really? more steep? and does it loosen with time or will it stay stiff like it is?

also, the truck was a virgin to the trails before me and to my knowledge its done nothing in the way of flexing like that. the most maybe was somebody accidentally jumping a curb, lol, brought this truck from the city to where it should be
