May 10, 2019: First flex shots! (continued)

We measured 33" of clearance under the tire in this image. This is without any adjustments being made. I am confident I'll get this number to over 40" once I get everything dialed in. :D



This pic gives another view of the front shock with plenty of up-travel potential remaining



So I've got the front being limited by either (a) not enough vehicle weight, (b) spring rate too high, or (c) rear spring rate too low, and the rear being limited by the passenger side bottoming out a good 2 or 3 inches too soon.

In person is looks pretty good actually, FAR better travel than I've ever had with this truck to date. Many of my employees were saying to leave it as-is and that the flex is impressive enough, but I'm looking forward to finding this truck's true potential while staying with IFS :beer:
