Psuedo flex shots

EXTREME IFS FLEX!!! I went as far as I could go until the RF tire started smoking. ps. I was unlocked in the rear...

Are you replacing your broken skidplate? If so mine is missing the door over the drain plug. Maybe we can work something out on the one from yours?

Not sure yet. May fab something up. I will let you know.

Flex is overrated

Great info. Looks excellent.

Thanks wngrog. I'm happy with the ride so far. It is firm, but not bone jarring. It corners extremely well now, no body roll what so ever. I have a little rubbing at full lock and that can be fixed. Please feel free to PM, e-mail or call me when you do yours. To be honest I think the front lift is easier than the rear. Just read the doc I posted about indexing and you should be fine..

I'm going to take it up on a local trail I can almost gaurentee no other 100 series has been on..Shall be fun

Not sure? The biggest one I can fit in the bumper I have. Maybe Slee could could chime in?

Got an idea: You should try to stuff a Warn 9.5ti in there...and then report back

Looks like the back didn't want to flex - maybe the springs are too stiff. It should be better, when you add some extra weight at the back.
Keep up the good work .
I've found out something new: that the stock shocks are (almost) the same length as the OME (well - except for the 74L, which is not ment to be used on a LC100). And if you lift the front higher, it will flex even less.

Samo

I wasn't fully up the rock. The rear drops just fine. The front is within spec for needed drop. I think I can get more travel if I get a lower bump stop for the front. I will post a pic of it soon.

thats what bothrein me .. even the LTR .. same length .. maybe i will think about RAID (50mm+) .. in front and 74L in rear ..

Nice build up Bull.

EL_3grab,
The front shock on 100 series also function as extension bump stop. You could easily adapt longer shock but don't be surprised if you start snaping tie rod/steering rack or upper ball joint.
Longer front shock are worthless if you did not address the upper ball joint and and steering related component.

Thanks! I'm uploading photos of it out on a trail run. I didn't get the rear bumper on or the front but they are painted. I will have photos up in a bit. Albert did great today. It was like wheeling a cadillac!!!

This section gave us a little fit due only to how narrow it is..
