Wayne, its hard to tell, but are your springs detaching or fixed both ends to accommodate this sort of flex?

All my springs are custom made,I am at the limit at the moment of both spring and shock travel.Any more would require serious rethinking

I picked up a set of these arms through the week and until later in March they have 10% off(see their website). Good saving for something I intended to buy anyway.

Brendan,I have more pics and some video,that once I convert it,I will place in a separate tread about yesterday's trip

So it sounds like your springs have sufficient length to avoid disconnect.

Are you using the superflex just on the passenger side mated to superior engineering standard radius arm on drivers side, or have you gone superflex on both sides?

(psst...he hadn't reached for his gun yet...keep asking questions!!!)

Hi Wayne,
So your springs are retained front and rear? What are the specs on your springs? (free length, lbs, etc?)

Yes I. Have the standard setup of super flex arm on the passenger side and SE arm on the drivers side.And yes my springs are just long enough

My springs have been discussed many times on the forum.I had them custom made.I had the vehicle weighed in its normal ready for action setup and had all 4 corners weighed.I won't go into the why's and why nots but I run progressive springs in the rear which are over 500mm free length,can't remember exactly and the fronts are linear rate and I can't remember the free length.

Thanks Wayne, I'll troll all your threads...suspect the trigger finger is getting itchy :(

I am just not going to tell someone to set their vehicle up the same as mine,as I believe that all vehicles are different and need to be set up slightly different,and everyone drives differently and has different expectations.Mine is set up relatively soft but the shocks have been valved a little firmer as this is what I like,but obviously won't suit someone that likes to pretend their Defender actually goes fast and throws the truck around on the road.Some things have to be left for the individual to work out what is going to work for them

I put my superflex arms in on Saturday, i haven't had a chance to test them properly yet. I got the castor corrected arms, so it's a nicer drive on the road, slightly more body roll now but doesn't bother me as the ride is generally improved.

My front propshaft angle was borderline before the castor correction but now i will need to put in a double carden as the angle is too great and it's starting to bind. Oh well, it was on the cards anyway!

OK here is a short video of a bit of flex from Saturday
