welcome to the forum

Love the flex on the back. How do you prevent the spring from popping out?

Hello and welcome.

What setup to you have on the rear of that?

Wotcha and welcome....nice flex mate....

Its much better flex than mine... :oops:

Holy crap!!!... Did you get yourself in quicksands or what????... :mrgreen:

GREG= nuts :lol:

Hi and welcome, you have me tempted to remove the rear anti roll bar now

We have a few registered here from your home forum, more welcome

I have new plus 4" shocks with a 4" lift so no problems there

At the front removing that will give terrible ride quality and you will be in danger of cracking the CV housing on extreme flex.

It wouldnt be difficult to put reinforcing rings on the cv's Ste...we in the SE CV smashing dept just decided not to as, for us with the welded fronts, its better to bust a cv as easy to get to sooner than something else...
We were busting them with too much torque under suspension compression...ringing the cvs would help with droop where infairness there will never be as much traction as under compression...

In order to prevent the spring from falling i use a cross bar on the lower plate over the last coil to keep the spring inplace and one of these on top to get some raise as well. Note the cone shape in order to guide the spring back to place if it comes off rest...

tidy flex wildweasel!

how have you fixed the spacer/cone to the chassis?

This is what I mean with no front anti roll bar and nothing to limit flex.

Excuse the quality :lol:

Welcome to the forum your input is most welcome. I like the articulation you have on the beast.
