If you are trying to get a "score", you need and RTI ramp that is set to a certain amount of degrees. Go to an offroad shop and see if they have one.

Your IFS won't flex anyways. Give up on it. Work on your grammar skills while you're at it too.






That is all

 

[Rix]

IFS doesn't flex well, period.
I'm in the same boat (for now)

 

[TB-F]

Just wheel the damn thing and call me when you'r ready for a SAS

Then you can talk flex.

 

[Dain Bramage]

if you want to flex with IFS, pretty much the only thing you can do is remove the swaybar(s).

 

[malodin]

actually guys, ifs flexes ten times better than leafs, it just doesnt flex as far as leafs do. the whole principle behind ifs is that it makes the rid smoother and more car like by allowing more suspension flex. but yah ifs will never match what leafs or solid axle with coils can do.

:wtf:wow, you totally just contradicted yourself, in the same sentence. :awesomework:

and you are wrong. IFS stands for indemendant front suspension, which means that the front corners can flex independantly of each other. yes, it was designed to make the ride smoother, for example, if you hit a bump at speed with the RF tire, it will absorb it, and the LF corner wont hardly move, as opposed to a solid axle, where when the RF tire hits the bump and rises over it, the suspension pushes the truck upwards, and allowing the LF suspension to droop, so that when you come down off the bump, you have the rebound from the RF suspension pushing up, and the LF compressing and then rebounding, which of course makes for a rougher ride.

ifs is still gay

Sorry, forgot the :fawkdancesmiley:

 

[Dain Bramage]

ifs sucks. lets leave it at that.

 

[Outback]

:IFS stands for indemendant front suspension,

I'm thinking you wanted to type "Independent Front Suspension".
However you would still have gotten it wrong.
What you should have typed to be correct is: "Inferior Front Suspension"

Ya I know:awesomework:

re read that, i didnt contradict my self at all. IFS stands for independant front suspension for starters. if ifs doesnt flex better than a solid axle than why do they use them on stadium trucks and what not, because ifs can take a good flexing.

the very principle of ifs means that it does flex better because it doesnt have to counter act the other corner. it just does not flex as far as leaves do(that is not a contradiction)
