Flexy Friday!

Since this thread is about flex, and yes I realize this sounds like a dumb question coming from me, but how much flex can you get from the rear with stock arms? What shocks and coils would give me that?
Or, what's the cheapest long travel rear setup I can get? Under $1000.
Thanks for help everyone!

MT stage 2 LT kit. Every now and then they'll have a sale. I got mine for less than $600!

^ This. I love my MT rear and I'm not even running the MT LT specific Icons, just the extended length Icons. I think between the 2 I was right around 800, but I also bought from two different vendors due to a Black Friday deal on the icons.

Wish I had gotten a better picture but I had people waiting behind me to go through.

If I could get it on sale that would be nice. I could do metal tech coils, extended brake lines, superbumps and bilstein 5125 14" for less than $600. The kit and the better icons would be worth it though. For $1000 I could add in the offset lower arms too though.

Nothing wrong with that! Will the 5125's compress and extend enough? I haven't looked at their specs

You can get them in 2" increments all the way to 14". The icons extend 11.5", so if I went with 14" Billy's and clamped the springs in I would get more travel potentially. Not sure how far the stock arms will travel though....
 
It was a mild flex, but I knew it was Friday so I flexed and stuffed a little!!!! It felt good to stretch her out a bit.

I flexed to the max for [MENTION=101553]t-man[/MENTION] on a Saturday...

My tire was just scraping the ground and I couldn't flex no more...

I don't know his T4R.org user name, but I suspect he's out here somewhere. Ran Webster Pass with this cat yesterday and I think this qualifies for flexing?!?!? ... and it got posted on Friday!

Just sayin...

I believe that's "the skid kid" and I don't think he's on the forums. He has a web page and uses Instagram and Facebook mostly. He can max the droop on that rear end. The uppers will hit the gas tank.
