with a 2" OME setup, what is a good way to get some better flexing ability without paying a ton of money?

im guessing that new trailing arms and radius arms would help, but at $300 a pair, the bill is already pretty high for a college student.

spring retainers, longer shocks, and extended brake lines?

I wouldn't get new radius arms with a 2' lift but would invest in some trailing arms, it will help. longer shocks, with brake lines.

that should give a little more flex in the rear. you're not going to get alot of flex out of the front anyways.

With brake lines and longer shocks or dropped mounts you should be able to get enough flex to unseat a spring if you wanted to.

im not ready to remove both sway bars yet, but if i remove just the back, how will it drive?

ill invest in longer brake lines and spring retainers next. that will take care of 2 limiting factors, then ill start saving for the trailing arms.

mine came without sway bars, it requires that you be aware while your driving. It ain't no caddy with the sway bars removed.

get the rear upper shock mounts that relocate along with spring retainers then start saving for a rear locker and you will not be worring about the flex so much :)

From a friend in PA:

Rocker Ted Nugent on Hunting:

Nugent, an avid hunter, was being interviewed by a
French journalist. The journalist asked, "What do you
think the last thought is in the mind of a deer before
you shoot it? Is it, "Are you my friend?", or is it,
"Are you the one who killed my brother?"

Nugent replied, "Deer aren't capable of that kind of
thinking. All they care about is, 'What am I going to
eat next, who am I going to screw next, and can I run
fast enough to get away. They are very much like the
French."

yeah, but that's not enough. i need me more sex appeal. I need me longer arms, longer this, longer that. ... oh wait, that's too much money. i think i'll just remove the damn shocks.

Screw that, let's just remove the arms, then we will have MAD FLEX!

Cheers,
