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.
October 17, 200520 yr man, you guys dont even know articulation! check this out (incase you didn't know, its a joke) Now,,, if i could only get my Subaru to cut grass,,,,,,,,,
October 17, 200520 yr Without the rear sway bar. Piecs of cake. Two 2X4s under the ramp. . . Hey Zaper, could you give me the info on those tires?
October 18, 200520 yr Flexing on rocks; thats what I'm talking about Jibs I think you can find a bigger one though
October 18, 200520 yr mo lod sold roo, gezze im so stupid for selling her:banghead: i miss her so much! i cant upload pics, there to big i think, pics: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/datuunloverbrad/album?.dir=3cca&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos maybe that will work
October 18, 200520 yr holy crap brad, that front bumper on that thing is huge! very very beefie, did you make that?
October 18, 200520 yr no i think (if i remember correctly) it came off a older toyota pick up. holy crap brad, that front bumper on that thing is huge! very very beefie, did you make that?
October 18, 200520 yr How are y'all gettin' the front to move so much? removed sway bars?? maybe? I just got my camera back, so I'll be taking a couple new shots in the next couple days.
October 18, 200520 yr I REMOVED THE SWAY BAR removed sway bars?? maybe? I just got my camera back, so I'll be taking a couple new shots in the next couple days.
October 22, 200520 yr removing the sway bars and adjusting the suspension all the way down. that way it's really soft and flexy.
October 23, 200520 yr i hate to say it, but that bronco has some nice articulation going on the sube is real nice too:slobber:
October 23, 200520 yr 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:
October 25, 200520 yr 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.
October 25, 200520 yr 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.
October 25, 200520 yr 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:
