Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Nick has had his rig off the clock with these arms and 5 or 6 inch lift springs and said it was still sweet.

Anything is possible, you only need to ask either Nick or Ryan.

Nick's also told me before that he copped a speeding ticket doing about 140 with the 5 link and 38's on so maybe that says more about his driving than it does about the suspension set up

I like the fact that they are simple and from the flex on the ramp, they look like they work a treat.

Nicks truck looked sweet, and with myself doing about 20 000ks a year, they will appeal to myself as well, Also, i ran castor plates for 6 months, and went through a set of bushes, im now running drop boxes and went through a set of bushes, the lift has been in about 14months, so if they will stop all my dramas, life will be sweet.

for those that haven`t seen nick mannells new rig.

Got any pics from the front as that pic shows that the rear flexs well. But not a real good idea of what the front can do.

when it was on the ramp only the drivers side had twisted in its mounts by no more than 1mm, the passengers side was still straight. The front still had atleast 4inches left in it. With so many people looking at the rig and climbing under it this was as far up the ramp as we would take it for safety reasons. Yes it was also strapped to it.

And what a sweet ramp it was too, it hooks stright up to the towbar of the car, has air bag susp[ension and pump it up, hook it up and your off, runs around on 35" Muddies if im correct.

well from the pic , looks like no way it would outflex a 5link

or

he runs his rear springs way too soft , as its not forcing the front to work at all
an we all kno how easy the rear flex's already

so yeah , my thoughts r he needs firmer springs in rear or softer in front
but i'd prefer the firmer rear

from what i believe this truck has hardly been driven to this date as it hasnt been finished for all that long, so the springs still havnt had time to settle yet, so after a few runs it may be entirely different flex wise....

from that pic it doesnt seem to be flexin in front end at all


BUT THE TRUCK DEFFINATELY LOOKS that blue is awsome

cast or forged? pretty sure the toyota (bundera, 80, 105) are forged, and they are bendable/straightenable in a 20 ton press.

Hate to burst your bubble but I wouldn't say that that has much flex. The rear is definately to soft and then front ain't doing shiat as for going up the ramp further I doubt it as the rear is about to lift.

I would say all the five links on the market would have more flex.
