Superflex arms pros & cons ?

[manning125]

Hi all I am thinking about getting superflex arms for my gu coil cab and im just
Interested in peoples experience with them.... Im running 5" suspension stuff flexi coils with 8" tough dog shocks and dropped radius arms and cant seem to max out the front shocks.. Cheers

You won't max your front shocks out with superflex arms. Not with the variation between spring and shock you have. Even with the superflex arms there's still heaps of bind in the front end of a patrol. I know guys with 5" springs and 6" shocks that can't max out with super flex arms. They should probly be called " slightly flex arms"

The side with plates doesn't corner nice, the other side does without the plates corners like stock. When braking hard the side with the plates sort of shudders a bit, hard too explain.
And you won't max out your shocks as the panhard still limits the travel.

They still probably the best arms currently but they aren't without there issues.

I run 4in flexi coils, 6in tuff dogs, drop boxes and super flex arm.

After putting back in my rear sway bar (disconnects) cause I could almost touch the road when cornering. It just wanted to flop about all ovr the road. But now it drives great. No shuddering I have found and cornering feels like it was when I had a 2in lift in.

As for flex. I can max out my 6in tuff dogs pretty easily.

When I get a chance I'll be removing the shocks and finding out the max open length shocks I can fit in there.

I don't have any wheel shudder or vibrations either

Yeah I max my 6" shocks out as well. They are my limiting factor can get more out of it with them disconnected.

I've done alot of reading on the SFA subject. It seems that a rear swaybar really sets them off. As in, it forces the front to work more thus, providing more 'even' flex front to rear instead of the cab following the front diff.

Remeber they will flex more under a dynamic load other than a static load, ie. stopped and flexed with your longer shocks unless there is a positive hard stop in there somewhere.
