You weren't thinking of the other kind of 'burb were ya? ;)

Finally finished the 4-link and I'm headed out to Grand Junction and Montrose to test it out this weekend. Oh, and that's about half the suspension travel that the truck has.
 
nice flex it looks like the left shock is almost bottom so not much up travel left in that side, how much more droop ya got left on the right it looks like over half the travel is used up, might just be the pic.
Keep us posted on how it worked out
 
We like to do a little "urban Wheeling" as we call it, too. Mostly cruise around town looking for stuff you can drive up or over for entertainment. Of course, the legalities are questionable.:D Really dig your rig, too.:thumb:

They're 14" travel shocks in the rear mounted at ~30 degrees and they have a couple more inches of travel.

The front isn't hardly flexing (only a couple inches) because the rear is so soft. Front springs are 52's with only 3 leaves (the 52" pack had 7 leaves :eek1:). The front used to flex very well so I need to add a sway bar to the rear.
 
looks pretty sweet. you cant really tell how much the rear is really flexing because the rear is bobbed, but thats pretty sweet. you running jeep coils? the coils definitely look thinner than the bronco coils im runnning on the back of my k30. looks good!
