What did the articulation measure at? Looks to me at about 65-70"
Call 'Webster',man. 'Cause if you did't just redefine the word,
you sure did'nt have any problem adding to it!

I'm shocked to see that!

I had no idea that a leaf spring truck could do that!

What suspension mods did you do and what springs are those? I'd love to get my truck to do those kind of tricks?

54" actually... but once it has weight on the rear axle, & tires at trail pressure... it should be 60ish at least.

You may be a soupless bastich but I was damned impressed at those pics. Talk about killer articulation, just what you want for a rock crawler. I can't wait to see the pics of you spanking the 'zuks and jeeps in the rough and sending 'em home to mama.

If your knuckles ain't bleeding you did something wrong.
