flex?

[JesseA]

How much flex are you guys getting out of stock packs? I have some bastard packs in my Sammy (5 leaf front and rear) I originally did this to counter wrap, but i hate them the rear doesnt flex at all and my kidneys hurt after a day of riding.
I think that I need to take a leaf out of each pack in the front and two in the back.

I got 1131 front and 1087 rear. I use only the three main leaves sprung over with a 1.5" shackle lift. Still have front springs in the front. I also got rid of the spring wraps so they can separate fully. I'll continue this way until I switch to YJ's

you lost me.

That is about where I would like to be, flex wise. I probably would have dumped mine before I got that far on the ramp.

basically means "my shiat flexes out goood"

1000 being a perfect score, essentially means that your 1 tire can elevate up a certain degree of ramp surpassing the wheelbase of your vehicle, over 1000 basically means that the vehicle is now driving beside the ramp with 1 tire on it.

front and rear just mean he drove up front and got a score and drove up in reverse n got a score, its a good way to test where yer flex is coming from, front or rear.

I was wondering the same thing. Seems kind of a stretch to get 1131 out of an almost stock spoa, but not entirely out of the realm of possibility.


My old zuk with coils in the rear and drop links up front only scored 1151....
The coils came completely away from the frame...

It doesn't look to be at a very steep angle. Looks like abot 20 degrees.

I'm not taking away anything from your truck Wildcat. It looks to be working pretty good regardless of the ramp. :beer:
