Default FLexy is Sexy!

I'm posting my newest flex pictures from my favortie test crack! This is in Sedona Az at the Broken Arrow trail....its the same spot as the earlier photo in my album. I'll upload fullsize pics later. This is the first time I was able run this without my sway bar disconnects.
My lady Traci is doing the driving.

Sorry, never sure where the line is between boasting and explaination. I'll list the suspension mods. Thanks for you interest.

The rear suspension starts with an off road spring pak. I chopped down the cargo leaf to use as a spacer, and added a BDS AAL. I also replaced the eye bushings with Energy suspension pieces from a 1/2 ton Chevy. For now Pro Comp shocks dampen the jolts, and Daystar bump stops prevent overtravel.

The front end starts with off road springs, The lift is a 3 inch Rough Country, spacers, longer arms and Track bar mount. The track bar is a Lindstad unit (for now). Shocks are Rough Country gas, and I installed Skyjacker limit straps and Daystar 5 inch bumpstops. Sway bar Disconnects are Warrior products, designed for a Jeep XJ.

Future plans include possibly adapting a 3rd gen track bar, a 3/4 spacer to correct the dreaded "Dodge lean", and EGR stainless Brake lines.
Oh...I want to add that I installed all of this stuff (Abeit with help) myself. My thanks to Rich and Krieg for thier invaluble assistance.

Sounds like a nice set-up. If you do that 3rd gen track-bar, obviously we will need to hear about it

The issue is the supplier hasn't listed it in a while.. at one time Top Gun on ebay had them. They'll adapt the top mount to the gen 3.
