Stock Suspension on 35s-image-817222939.jpg

Forklift at work needs a new flywheel, so wasn't able to use it to test the flex, but hit the trail instead

Got it. Another stupid question, or two, if you don't mind. With the added weight of the new tires plus the additional bracing you are going to run, I'm guessing the ratio of weight distribution has already shifted in favor of the lower section. Wouldn't a small (3"?) lift still be beneficial for articulation, clearance, and comfort? Or do you not mind riding the bumpstops frequently?

I know this is a lil old but running any Long arm kit at stock height is gonna push your axle way forward, I had my long arms made because every company that sells kits say you need at least 4.5", 3.5"(tnt) is the smallest ive seen.
