[QUOTE="Beerj, post: 750588, member: 10035"] I ran it up the rti ramp at the end of the day and didn't see anything close to binding then either. However, like you said, it wasn't really possible to compress the rubber at the end of the shocks in that scenario. At least not as hard as you might actually see on the trail. I was originally thinking that the live load was more than I was seeing by flexing and checking, and it probably is. However, I measured the heims to have 60° of travel and the most I measured on any while flexed was 44° max to max. Again, it could be my ignorance showing but I just couldn't envision another 16° of change no matter how much force was applied. I know it probably sounds like I have an excuse for everything but it's just that I've really put some effort into looking, measuring and thinking about every possible issue that I could come up with. Again, I understand what the sway bar does and how it does it, but you most definitely have more knowledge as to what sort of force is being applied and how best to deal with those forces. [/QUOTE]
