Checking Flex...

I went to the mountains this weekend with the wife and some of our friends. Well the 2 guys vs 6 girls was a bit much. So him and I had to get out of the cabin and play with the truck a little. Honestly I did not think Ol' Ron Burgundy would flex like he did..




Oh yeah all 8 of us rode up there together and I took all 8 of us sightseeing - I LOVE THIS TRUCK!!

Nice flex pics. Is that all on stock suspension? I did that the other day on a snow/ice pile and was amazed too. LOVE THE X

That looks a lot better than my stock set up. I was tipping a bit - on bumpstops at opposite corners. Hmm, maybe that's why I go through the ball joints.

Consider getting a set of anti-swaybar disconnect fittings for when you're crawling offroad, then go see the flex.

Yeah I have a pieced/custom 6" lift with the sway bars disconnected in the front. Bilstein shocks at the corners and 325/65/18's for rubber. Took it out on the beach today and had a blast.

Do you have a source for the disconnect kit? Or it it home-made?
