this is the best pics i have this is with factory leafs with 2 leafs removed rear and three front and flipped front and rear leafs

im now running 55 series rear springs, and longer shackles, and can drive even further up this rock, if i change my pitman arm i could probly drive over it without lifting a wheel and just back it awwwn down :eek: but its what you got on the day, not what oyu may be able to do ;)

I thought so, but he didn't mention that in his spring set up run down. I was confused.:confused:

Have you guys seen that new K-motion or somethin thing that is in its final stages? It was in a recent four wheeler magazine I believe, it can be bolted up to just about anything by the looks, in the article the test vehicle was a TJ of course, but they wheeled some really hard trail bone stock except for the K-Motion thing. By the looks and what they described it is a bolt-on modification that works like the suspension on the mk1scorpion, with out the air bags and all the complicated tubing, it just uses some form of hydraulics.

My cruiser (the green one on 38.5s) has one flex shot in this post.
Waggie front springs at all 4 corners, shackles all angled back about 38-45 degrees. Extra long shackles up front (had to in order to clear the frame...the mounts are in-frame style...not the below the frame like is clearly visible on Wngrgs). I also have a 2 inch body lift (been on there since '94).

Spring under, 2.5" alcans, con-ferr shackles. POS pro-comp shocks that are slightly limiting me. Not fully flexed in this one but close. :(:(:(:(
