Im assuming the reason no one has even responded is because this is a website dedicated to crawling and off-roading with several existing articles on toyota mods for flex and such.............

maybe try the search box..........?! :dunno:

How do you have your RUF pack set up? it might be a little too stiff

Or its the f150 springs,

My truck is set up just like yours except i'm runnin the chevies in the back and i am way more than happy with how it flexes



Oh yeah, and thanx for the tires Tom  their still goin strong

So your buddy has 2 feet of up travel and 2 feet of droop  :eek:

Ditto, good suggestion from a newb  :thumbs:  There are many existing threads on this, as well as a flex thread where lots of people say what they've done and show pics.  The info is there for those willing to do the research  ;)
