You said 4 feet, I said around the height of a tyre. From you new set of photos, it would appear that I was closer.

This discussion has always been about the springs and the lack of movement in them. I am not sure why you keep on posting photos that shows the rear dislocating when the front is only 1 foot of the ground and front barely moving at all.

You call this flex?

You would be better off getting rid of the springs and replacing then with lumps of steel

Let me see.... Suspension moved..... it would articulate over rocks, roots etc.... Steel lumps wouldn't do this!!

And even if the front doesn't move much there are reasons!!!! Many have been gone over it in exhausted details...YOU REFUSE TO LISTEN!!! Everyone you argue with has proof or an ability to back up what they say..... I don't recall you EVER having this ability! You talk and then show a car totally unrealted!!!

Yeah the samuri's were nice, the LEAF PACK flexed nicely...... BUT WE ARE ARGUING COILS AND EQUIPMENT!!! I don't care if you think I am a punk or what not...... I disagree with about 95% of what you say the other 5% i have read from an owners manuel...

Agree to disagree and move on already!!!!!

Steel would only have slightly less movement.

The front has moved by only 1 foot. The back has dislocated. This means that the rear springs discolate with less than 1 foot of movement. At this point, as the springs are disloacted, the only weight on that tyre for traction is the weight of the wheel. A stock standard spring system would still have well over 1,000lb downward pressure on that wheel for traction.

So can you please explain to a fool like myself as to how this is an improvement to the vehicle??

I am sorry, but I have not come across too many forklifts out on the trail.

For the record, I am not the one that starts posts with my name in it. He just wants to argue, so lets argue.

You have proven time and time again that you are only interested in selling parts and the only off-road photos you seem to post is your disco parked on a wreck.

I would not go in your vehicle on anything past the carpark.

Why your continue to push your gear on this forum, I will continue to tell people how it serves no purpose, can make the vehicle worse off-road, and is basically a waste of money. But then there will be others that think that it looks great and they will buy it. But at least they were warned.

So please tell every one how my parts serve no purpose.

Why do you keep on posting photos that prove my point

why the hell do you think SafariGard sold the 3 link for the front? Cause these trucks have no flex in the front suspension! look at the front radius arms and how they mount to the axle, then look at the rear trailing arms.

The springs aren't the reason his front end doesn't flex as well as the rear you retard...

Funrover · 10-21-2007, 08:09 PM

I would be willing to sacrafice my truck for testing purposes...LOL...... some R&D!!!! LOL

Can I send a list of useless parts I would really like to test? LOL

You posted photos of your truck with my name in the thread heading. So I assume that the purpose of your post was to have me comment on your truck. This I have done. You can comment on my truck when I post photos of it claiming that it has great flex. As this point I have not done so. But for some reason you want to keep on trying to move the discussion from yours to mine.

Can you then please explain why the D2 I posted photos of has a lot more flex in the front end that 5Speeds.

The limiting factors of the front end were discussed in the last thread started by 5Speed. There is no debate about this. However, the limited flex in 5Speed's front end is not caused by these factors as other vehicles with the same factors flex more. A stock standard Rover flexes more in the front.
