Yup, gotta love the hitch doubling as a slider for the rear bumper :boink:

I seriously dragged that thing for like a mile over the course of 3 days. I wouldn't have a rear bumper right now without it.

I try not to flex like this too often because of the rotational or "twisting" forces on the upper most leaf springs. Saying that, it does happen from time to time. This is the one and only time I ever stopped for pictures.

Here's the not so flexy IFS drop bracket, I still am planing a SAS with more leaf springs up front one day.

Oddly enough the only rubbing I have to deal with is the inside of the tire up in the wheel well because of the transverse movement of the axle... so if anyody has any suggestions for ways to reduce/limit the axle movment I am all ears.

This was a uphill V notch that I had to ride my right tires high but the lead into the obstacle was wet and sandy so my tires and the rock got greasy quickly. I tried 3 times but ended up in the same spot every time but was able to back out. Also zero body damage, just some scratches on the heavy metal.

This was hair raising. This picture was a moment before the rear raised up higher. This was the closest that I have been to flopping. I had to drive it out to keep the tires down.

Sounds like a case for bumpstop extensions to me. That's how to limit the upward travel of an axle.
