Re: rears to front question

It looks like the front Alcans flex better than the Chevy rears (i.e the chassis is closer to the angle of the rear axle housing).  Do you have a picture of the truck with the front end on the wall?  I thought the goal was 50/50 travel to keep the chassis as level as possible on obstacles.  I'm not seeing a problem with the front springs, do you think that they will keep you from going somewhere you want to go?  I would agree that amazing flex is major  :bling: but I'm not convinced that it is always practical.
