How much could I get for the Hawgs with the wheels they are around?

Look at it this way, if your springs did flex you'd start rubbing big time. Those stiff springs are doing you a favor.

Super extended bumpstops? Okay, you're right. The Tonka will never be a flexer. It's just that all you rock crawlin' dudes (and gals) have cool flexiness. I am envious of such matters. Hold on a second, what about full-size axles?

He is catching the flex-fever. Your truck sure is pretty but damn it would be even finer if you had that baby flexxin!

My flex used to suck. Here's some shots with rear stock springs lift blocks and 4" procrap front springs.

63 chevies forthe rear with front hanger moved forward and down and long shackles trimm fenders on front for tire stuffing

For reference, here's a shot of my stock suspension.

Here's a stock 85 with 31 inch tires and very negatively arched front springs

Not bad for stock though

It has better flex than mine! I wish I could get close to a negative number.

Crucial · « **Reply #43 on:** Sep 06, 2005, 07:14:54 PM »

dont even know what to say about mine.........

yotaboy79 · « **Reply #44 on:** Sep 06, 2005, 10:42:00 PM »

heres a pick of mine when it was stock

wa4x4 · « **Reply #45 on:** Sep 07, 2005, 12:31:15 AM »

Thats not bad for stock...

So, I measured my rear springs. They are 46 3/4" from eye to eye (bottom of rear shackle). I believe my shackle is 8". Could I get some springs right around 50" long with a 10" shackle to get rid of the blocks in the rear while maintaining the same lift?

6.72:1 · « **Reply #47 on:** Sep 07, 2005, 11:10:42 PM »

God forbid have more flex?

wa4x4 · « **Reply #48 on:** Sep 08, 2005, 11:30:03 PM »

Heres my stock 94 4runner.

I'll join with my daily driver...

Well I might as well show off my lack of flex. I am working on getting it better on the cheap though. Im going to fab some BJ spacers, its great having a machinist for a father, and some longer shackles for the rear. I also might take one leaf out of the rear to see what that does.

Glorious non-flex photographs people!

It's not even that bad of an angle. but wheni was a new wheeler that prolly would have scared me too. Now when it is like that i roll on purpose.

Her is mine from 2 years ago. 6 inches of lift and 33's. I had 4 inch front springs with a 2 inch lift shackle, 4 inch rear blocks with 2 inch lift shackle. custom shock mounts and a drop drag link. I was very happy with it at the time. now it sucks.
