I got bored ( flexing in the driveway )

Title says it all. !!!! UPDATED WITH NEW DRIVEWAY ACTION!!!!

One thing I found interesting was the distorted condition of the rear spring?...
I never really had a chance to look at it compressed , not sure if its normal ?

That is quite normal, the spring is made to do that, it stays locked in the sping pockes and flexes back and forth, the links from the frame to the axle keep it from going too far.

Take out one of the front control arm bolts and replace it with a hitch pin. More flex with it out

So did you happen to notice if your upper DS control arm contacts your LSPV line at full flex? Nice shots!

Its a high temp silica mesh tubing , the resonator ( glass pack ) is right under the fridge and it would get kinda hot.
The sleeving is doing a great job but I also installed a heat sheild as a back up.

I have some more testing to do with it , but if it keeps working I could send you some.

Or are you more fond of the "photo chops" of my way of driveway flexing?? I guess I'll never live that down.
