That is some wicked flex :evil: What springs are you running and what is your wb?

BTW, has your "ramp" had a termite inspection lately? :D

I run a Suzuki 1.6 16v with an automatic tranny with a dual transfercase ( Kicker II: Sidekick to toyota). Wicked flex :confused: , front are Yj's and back are Xj's with 36 inch Ranchos. Don't have the skills or $$$ to built a good linked suspension...Wheelbase is 100 inch on 38.5 Boggers.

The ramp was a motocross jump but it seems strong enough for a light rig like mine...

Samystar just wondering if you knew how much arch your yj springs have. I am building a tubed sammy and would like to run 37 or 38 tires and yj springs in the front and coil overs in the rear. But I am not quite sure what size yj springs to buy sense they are a pain in the rear to take back

Hey Samystar how come in the first pic it looks like you and the other truck are listing to starboard so much? :confused:

Love the lines of your rig :)

I think front Yj's are 4 inch ... But I would lower the front buy running good stock Yj's spring if I had enough room between hydro ram and oil pan :( . I'd say find 2 good used front Yj sping pack.

sorry, not your fault-I get that a lot :D

"Port" is the left (driver's) side, "starboard" is the right (passenger's) side

"Listing" is tilted/leaning/sinking/one side lower than the other, kinda deal.


I exaggerated the lines in the pic, but it just looks like both vehicles have quite the lean to the right going on, that's all.

His driveway must have a slant to the oposite side :D


I actually wheeled with a guy who did just that. He forgot his driveway was slanted and built a rig that sat streight only in front of his house :laughing:
:shaking:

Knew a guy who pimped out the interior of a Cheby van using a level. Only problem was the van itself wasn't level as it sat in his driveway. Took him awhile to figured out why everyting looked cock-eyed. :grinpimp:

They both just turned left. Soft suspension, plus a locked rear, you get lots of body roll. If you ever get to Moab it is almost lollertastic watching trail rigs leans all over driving through town.
