Show your 1st gen flex

No swaybars makes the most flex, also the worst handling on the road.

MAN do I know that for a fact. A certain camping trip comes to mind, while on the way there, with fire wood loaded on the roof, unbeknownst to me my front sway bar disconnected itself :eek: It's okay though, we all lived.
 






Id say leave the rear one on, it will flex better than the TTB with the swaybar and you will be able to squeeze all avaliable flex outta the TTB. But,IMO just ditch them, I do and im still alive. :D
 






only 2" of lift

Lifeguard, are you running stock length shocks or longer? I've got the 2" on mine now and I think the shock is limiting the downtravel (My pics are earlier in this thread and you can see its not quite stuffed). I've got an almost new set of those exact tires on same rims sitting in my shed...guess I could put them on and see if it stuffs as much as yours.

Edit: What's done to the front? Spacers or springs? Sway bar?
 






its on spacers and aal, no front sway bar and stock shocks. i love the tires. for the price you cant beat them.

^^ Calico... I want to go back there and go through Gatekeeper. Nice shot. :thumbsup:

I've got one in the same spot.

Thanks

I was slightly tempted to try that, although the friend I was with I don't think is trustworthy enough to spot me through there (more than once he's managed to set my diffs down together onto the only two rocks within sight :confused: ).
I still need to get my cage in and cut the lid off too (eliminating those HUUUGGE side windows :eek: ).
