Steel,
What else are you running in your setup?
Are shock mounts standard? Bumpstops?
+1

I'm running 4' lift coils, EFS Extreme 5' lift 80 series Cruiser front shocks, Efs Extreme longest rears they do, Custom made front shock towers, custom upper rear shock mounts, 100 series cruiser rear bumpstops front and rear.
I've got heaps of photos, but after my last effort at posting them,,,

Just because the tyre is touching the ground doesn't mean there is any down pressure on it to actually have traction..
There is pressure on the ground especially if you are running our ultra flexy coils

We have just finished a mates wagon to ute conversion. previous to the conversion the wagon ran superflex front arms, 6inch flexy coils and boss shocks.
When we converted it to a ute we kept the front arms but dropped to 5inch EFS coils(just ran there coils to suit winch etc front and 150kg load rears) and EFS Extreme shocks and also the superior long arm kit in the rear. Also moved bottom and top shock mounts to get rid of the land anchor.
The ute only has a lite weight tube tray and spase case on the rear.
My god what a difference. Car has less flex but twice as driveable!! The rear used to have hectic(lol) flex but as soon as the front moved the rear diff just drove under car and car would flex up but not drive anything! All tyres still on the ground!!
Now the car is far more stable. With the stiffer rear coils and front works nicely and it drives stuff it could never previously do as the rear actually has less flex but pushes the car forward. The front uses the travel the shocks allow very nicely.
My mate actually enjoys wheeling again as he can actually drive stuff that the truck never would
My own ute is very similiar but only uses castor plates(have been meaning to get superflex arms for ages but the car works very well)
I think the superflex arms are a great upgrade and worth every cent but flex is not everything
