To much Flex? Updated...

So,

I know this got some of your attentions because if I was seeing this I would look also.

Over the last two days I took the time to find the gremlin that was making noise in my truck. Well I found it. Fan shroud was loose and rattling and making noise. Anyhow, after that was fixed and all put back together the way it should be, then I started my OCD about cleaning my truck. The undercarriage was nasty from the CV's slinging grease all over it. So cleaned that, that included all the skids, front end, transfer case, everything. That included the non factory tow hitch also. Anyhow, I noticed that E-locker had some rubbing on it and I knew it was from the sway bar because I could see the marks on it. We all know what is in the pile of spear parts now.

So before I got the sway bar out I tried to hi lift the back tire up to make room. Well this was great but the tire never fully came off the ground and the jack was at about 3/4 the way up. The front end was way off the ground and tilted over to the drivers side.

I buttoned the truck up and took it for a test run around the area. Well I can't find a spot to flex it all the way out. The 31 in tire that is on it was under the slider pretty much. That is how far it is flexing.

So the next questions is? How do I change a flat on the back now,lol. Will I be able to jack it up with something else or will it just keep flexing?

I talked to Kraze about it also and he was even a little stumped. I didn't think the 906's were going to flex that much but they do! Let hear the thoughts and ideas on this one.

My set up right now-

Front- 99 Talls Factory

Rear- 906's with 4th gen OEM Shock. No sway bar in rear.

Also threw in some other pics for you all to enjoy. It has come along way from when I got it.

The last Hi Lift Pic is where I had it up to yesterday and the back was still on the ground. Jack was starting to slip so I stopped to take Pics at this point.

Thought you might like the new grill, but wait there is a locker? That should throw a few people.
