im not to sure where this would go.

i have a 95 xlt lifted 6" on 33x12.5 km2's after i got it lifted i was not impressed with how it flexed. its about stock still when it flexes. i want to flex HUGE how can i get this to happen?! as you can see wat i mean its about the same. (lift is a BDS sus.)

Thanks
Brandon

You can also run swaybar disconnects, so whenon the road they are attached and off road you pull a pin and move them outof the way.

The best way to increase flex is to ditch the TTB and do an SAS with coils and 4 link
 
you dont need to ditch the ttb and sas it, you can get plenty of flex out of a ttb, just need to address a few areas and that thing will flex to your hearts content. as mention longer radius arms should be first, maybe different coils too. also whats the rear set up like just a block, should look into an explorer pack with a long add aleaf and belltech shackle, you could get a good amount of flex after that, also look and the threads another guy posted too

The The best TTB can only flex half as much as a good setup sas with the same track width, its physics.
 
im going to disconnect the sway bar and she if i like it. it i do ill just pull it and go she how it flexes. the rear is 2" stock block and 4" bds blocks everything else is stock in the rear. i have been told to do shackles but my friend and i looked and looked and we couldnt find any on line for my truck. were we just not looking hard enough? im not rich so im trying to keep it on the cheaper side for now


wat is the TTB?!? im lost

TTB is your independent front end, SAS is solid axle swap

You can find and use boomerang shackles for a jeep cherokee (XJ) like these.

Loosening up the rear will help a bunch. you can take of the rear sway bar totally and will not miss it. after that a good set of boomerang shackles will allow the leaf spring to move more freely. Shocks are important also. once the spring flex increases the amount of shock travel comes into play. flex the truck to full tuck and measure the length at the shock, then flex the truck to full droop (tire off of the ground) and take a measurement if you feel the shock is binding you might want to try with the shocks removed...........DONT DRIVE IT THIS WAY just to test flex
 
or use belltech lowering shackles from a chevy 1500, they will lift on a ranger, and ttb can flex really good there are quiet a few guys on here with alot of flex out of a ttb, just got to set it up right
 
I have a set of ground force lowering shackles for Lightnings/1500's/and I think dodges new in the box. Two adjustable holes. They are the same size as the ranger leafs. So pretty much should lift the back up just fine. I happened to have these from our old lightning that I never used them on.
 
i took the front sway off i like how it rides i didnt no there was a rear sway also?
