37's with stock springs!?

[KtmRacer419]

Oh yes it can be done.










sick compression!


flexes exactly the same as my lift springs. the suspension just sits lower.

i have like 1" of uptravel lol



Disclaimer : about 1.5" of lift acheived with the dana44 and brackets.

and i wasnt bored enough to swap rear springs in.

so what your seeing is 4" or so in the rear and 1.5" in the front.

[Jeep Creep]

seems to sit pretty level tho

[HeavyMetal]

well id say this about proves that bumpstopping/lift doesnt effect flex when properly setup eh?

all you naysayers

[KtmRacer419]

these pics will be a good lift vs flex demonstration tool on jeepforum.

and it does seem to sit kinda level, but probably just because my front fenders are butchered and i didnt go past the pinch seams in the rear.

if you have 1" of up travel (which I assume is less than before) and the same droop, your not flexing as well.

I personally will be building the tallest short arm rig ever created I dont care what you low riding high centering fucks think.

I seriously hope you are kidding, because if not, that is officially the dumbest thing I have heard in quite some time. In no way will a taller short arm perform any better than a long armed rig that rides lower. Your ride quality is going to suffer as well as your performance. As for high centering, a flat skid will do wonders. Plus, the lower center of gravity is definately going to help in in off-camber obsticales as well as assents and declines. High centering does suck, but if you know your rig, and its well built, you can keep that to a minium.

ive done many blacks and a few reds and just barely kissed my belly skid once or twice.


and how am i not flexing as well?

stock springs: compression limited by bumpstops
lift springs: compression limited by bumpstops

stock springs: droop limited by shocks
lift springs: droop limited by shocks



and ive only gotten high centered once due to me being too throttle happy and taking a shitty line on top of jotters way(, high centered on a stump and no wheels toughing the ground.


and here was an explorer with about 12" of lift who did it after me and hot high centered in the same spot just as bad.


I dont care what you high riding, off camber rolling, shitty hillclimbing ability due to weight transfer fucks think.

so i take it you only plan to effectively wheel mud bogs then?

cmon james dont be another valentine, flex isnt all there is to every situation anyway (sorry if that reference was a little harsh)

x2

tall on shortarms is gonna suffer more than something low on long arms

I am serious about building mine tall (6.5 inches on paper now), but I was more or less making fun of my self for having short arms.

because your hitting your bump stops sooner

i hade short arms and 11" of lift. worked great not as much flexing as u would with longarms but it was big! now its 8" with short arms and handles very well, i know some of u guys like it low and lots of flex. i want it big with lots of flex, and i dont wanna rub fenders with tires!!! if i end up putting my dana 60s under the jeep it will be very big!! stupid big! because thats what i like! and i have longarms now but they go with the dana 60! so we will see what i wanna do! i change my mind as the weather changes so who knows what i will end up doing!!

you make no sense, the bumpstops are in the same place so the upward motion of the axle ends in the same place.

with taller springs i have more compression and less droop
with shorter springs i have less compression and more droop.

im not getting into this again, put on civic springs for all I care
