Body Damage is Cool
That is sick flex. Almost as good as Dave's.

I'd like to see the RTI numbers from a 20 degree ramp on both your's and Daves to see who wins.

Flexing out good in the rear = unfortunatly the front is gunna limit your wheelin' abilities in the rocks & ruts. I wonder if a softer spring up front with a spacer for ride height would work? VS: The SAS conversion? I know that the Rokia needs rear bumpstops to stop the rear flex & force the front to flex better & also not to kill the 1/4 panels. With the rear 1/4 eliptic, it is so flexy it needs to be stopped & make the front work a little harder = pressure can work in your favor sometimes. As for your setup with the front IFS Ya dont have alot of options - unfortunatly.

Ant other thoughts of how he can gain some front flex without goin SAS?

Heres Rokia maxed out in the rear W/O bumpstops = the 1/4 panels are what is stopping the tires = not good but still in the shakedown stage.

FYI: 2002 2 door still only 17,250 miles on it.
