Rock crawling suspensions

Does anyone make a suspension specifically designed for maximum articulation or just going fast over bumps. Im thinking it would be all in the shock and spring setup using the common long arm setup and moving the shock locations up as far as you can then using a long travel shock and softer progressive spring rate. I was flexing the Jeep today and decided to see how much the Rhino would do after removing the sway bar it still sucked. After watching a lot of U-tube vids, they all had the same problems off road. To stiff and no flex over off camber obstacles making it get stuck more often than it should. :idea: That just went on my project list. :) Somewhere around 12 or 13th. and a Rhino sized RTI ramp.

If i knew the angles and pitch i could POSSIBLY make it at work i say that because i could in the spare time and might have to purchase the parts

that would be the only reason for me to buy a long travel kit... just so i could rock crawl.

It's independent, not straight-axel, it won't flex, much, period.

Right here is a :cherry: Check out the utube video on the page. Pretty Cool.

Yea I imagine the only way to get a lot of flex is to have supper soft springs
but that would kill the ride.

That would be my only reason but for 5k I can just put a badass 6" long arm Rubicon Express lift on my jeep.

you have a good point though... jeep would look and perform pretty sweet with the RE lift.

take off teh coil spring!

Jumping leads to more jumping that leads to flipping that leads to my wife pissed at the repair cost.

Tellico450 if I could take them off and put them back on with ease that would rock. I have seen many jeeps and buggies with only Fox shocks on the front no coil springs and they have crazy flex. :idea:
