What's Articulation

articulation is like how much flex you have, so the more articulation someone has the more flexy their truck or whatever is.

Articulation is how much flex the suspension and frame of your truck has.

What's Articulation

Articulation is the amount of suspension travel from the compressed limit(axle bumper stops) to the extended limit(shock or spring lenght limit), Before you begin to twist the frame, as in the pictures in previous post, or one or more of your tires loose contract with the ground or loose traction.

Believe it or not I've had it twisted worse than that and the frame is fine. I think the frame twists so much because there is no floor in the box, just a sheet of 1/2" plywood.

Wow! I used to use Flexable Fliers when I was a kid on the local snow pile but that's the first time I've seen one that weighed a couple of tons! You sure that frame wasn't subcontracted out to Goodyear? I'm impressed I didn't think any truck could do that. Anything with a bowtie on it would have broken at half that deflection.
