articulation question
If you have a copy of the April 2002 Peterson's 4 Wheel & Off-Road please turn to page 108. Is this all the articulation that the Bronco has? Even with a new lift with extended radius arms??? If so, what is the adventage of the radius arms? Can the stock ones really be worse than these?
It doesn't even look like an action shot...it looks like the truck is balancing like that!! If the truck were moving and was jumped over the hill it'd be different--I could understand the wheel placement--but there is no dust around the tires or anything.....
Somehow, I always pictured a lifted TTB having more articulation than this...if this is all, I'm kinda disappointed:-X23

Check out my post in off-road forum ladeled TTB lift and brakelines
Brakelines are the biggest problem when lifting and looking for good articulation. The TTB is kinda limited on articulation because of the TTB setup itself they don't make any really big lifts for this because of alignment issues as for the extended radius arms they put the caster angles back where they belong after you lift a truck as for articulation they really don't have much to do with that. The radius arm is mainly to keep the axle from moving forward and backward when driving and hitting a bump. After redoing my brake lines and along with the suspension lift and body lift on my truck which is a 82 F150 4x4. I have gained atleast 4" more of travel in my TTB front end with my brakeline setup than with the extended brakelines. total articulation I am getting now is aprox 12" of travel total
