Mine had 34" of travel in the rear and 26" in the front with IFS. HOWEVER that is compareing apples to oranges. Subaru's have Mcphereson struts, and are greatly limited on wheel flex because of this. It takes a lot more money to get flex out something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooinater Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 removing the sway bars and adjusting the suspension all the way down. that way it's really soft and flexy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 i hate to say it, but that bronco has some nice articulation going on the sube is real nice too:slobber: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 i hate to say it, but that bronco has some nice articulation going on the sube is real nice too:slobber: of course it does! WE got nothin in solid axles in almost every case, especially flex! Anyway, just put in my 2" diff shim, along with another goodie....but more on that in it's own thread, doesn't actually effect flex, but it does help my axle angles: before: after: it's essentially the same spot, but oviously a bit differet, but still had that back tire off the ground! and look how much better that axle looks! and another angle from that same spot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n16ht5 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Well thats the way Yoters are. Mine had 34" of travel in the rear and 26" in the front with IFS. HOWEVER that is compareing apples to oranges. Subaru's have Mcphereson struts, and are greatly limited on wheel flex because of this. It takes a lot more money to get flex out something like that. bwuahahhahahahahah 26" travel with IFS... good one... unless you have 30k into that rig ... no.

jaws dawg Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 has anybody tried modifying a swaybar for a quick disconnect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobme Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 bwuahahhahahahahah 26" travel with IFS... good one... unless you have 30k into that rig ... no. Class 1 /open class trucks don't have THAT much travel in the front, and they are all over $100,000 useing size 30 CV's. I'm sure I read last week that the newest "Truggy" being built had 22" up front, and they(the crew building it) wer THRILED with that much.

WAWalker Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Well, first of all suspession travel is not measured by how far the tire on the RTI ramp is off the ground:rolleyes:. Your front tire maybe 3 feet off the ground but that dosen't mean you have 3 feet of front suspenssion travel, you are flexing the front and rear suspenssion in order to get that tire 3 feet off the ground. I would love to see a 36" travel shock on the front of a 4Runner though:grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
