    what have you done so far?

    Coils or SLS?

    Usually longer coils, shocks and a lift, cranked arms, compensate for the angle change on the front diff, double cardan drive shaft. Where does it stop.

    Get some diff locks, then the flex will not be required for traction and you can forgo the stuffing around having to make up for lift induced problems.

    Like Slug Burner said, get some lockers, then leave the suspension alone. I have gone back to standard length shocks and springs, and installed a rear detroit in the 110. And a winch, too. Rides beautifully, corners beautifully, I don't need to worry about shafts, bushes, caster correction etc etc and it is still a capable offroader.

    Gywn Lewis extended mounts front and rear
    12 inch 7100 billies from the states e shock
    Sus stuff springs 2 inch
    Body lift 2 inch
    Other consumables that break eg break lines, shafts
    But the answer you deserve after that looooooooose question
    I mean d1 d2 d3 d4????
    Fast Dirt, rocks, touring, comp??
    Even preferred tyre size??

    Remove all shocks and one of the four radius arm bolts axle end
    Ramp it and see what's possible
    I would drive very slow though

    Go to 2:20 in the video and you will see the difference between massive flex compared to less flex but a locker. Locker wins.

    That series had more front flex than the 90
    Classic case of dislocated rear springs carrying virtually no weight
    Therefore getting no traction
    Poorly balanced coil suspension
    I web bet the 90 with rear springs tied in would walk up that hill
