SUA Flex. Show what you've got!

Been considering SOA, thought I would go for a run today and see how much flex I could get out of the SUA. Also had to try out the old ladies new 6.0mp Christmas gift.

Post your sua flex pics please!

I guess I'll throw a couple up too. I'm running 33's with a dakar lift with 1.5" extended shackles. Roughly about a 3"-4" lift. Sway bar still in tack.

There's that SouthEastern red mud...you SUA guys are surprising me with some of the flex pics. Anyone tried the scissor/revolver style shackles on a SU rig?

Sorry, no pics of it but with a Forklift at work I get 21 inches clearance in the front before any other tire comes off the ground. 2.5" mccoy springs, 1" lift shackles, no sway bars.
