Thread: flex pics...

this is my old D1. It had 2 inch raised EFS coils and 27.5 inch procomps on the rear. as you can see from the pic, the extra length shocks made the coils dislocate a few inches which was fixed with some dislocation cones or maybe they should be called relocation cones

pretty much the same as Knotty's truck. they allow heaps of rear articulation but the front was still way too hard as you can see in the pics. I sold the truck before getting the front sorted











ps. yes, its has a 2 inch body lift as well and running 245/75/16 Cooper STT's

Thanks Shorty oh i meen 2 door
Thats a very nice amount of flex, thats what i'm after
Maybe a better option would be to get some longer shocks?
How much did they set you back?

CHEERS TIM.

just for the rear shocks they were $270 delivered to me in Hobart. I left the EFS ones on the front and I think they were the limiting factor.

here is a link to the shocks and I got them from Shane at Suspension Stuff in sunny Qld. He was very helpful and they arrived a few days later in an express satchel, great service seeing as I didnt pay for the delivery.

thanks for the compliment, I was very happy with the travel and I will be doing something similar to my new 2 door when I pick it up next week. You cant beat great articulation.

good luck mate

Thanks again
That aint a bad price
I've gone through Shane before and was very happy with him
It'll be good to see some flex like that coming out of your 2door.

CHEERS TIM.

Very flexible ....

I see that you made an extension bracket for the rear brake "joining block" ... But the hose still has that 90 degree kink in it

Bend the top of the bracket further to get the hose to bend at 45 degrees and take the stress off the flexi hose .... or buy a longer hose

I did the same thing with my brake line bracket, and it was alsmost as tight as that when at full flex, but i just noticed today that a stick has snaged the lines at some stage and almost kinked the steel lines
Wouldn't have happened if it wasn't sitting off the diff
