I was thinkin of takin one bolt outta one of my front trailiing arms in the bush.. all slow speed stuff of course..

Is it worth it??

How much room is there between the diff and the arm inside the mount? I wouldnt thing there would be enough room for the arm to move befor it hits the diff again anyway? but i dont own a cruiser so i wouldnt know.

Dirtpigs does that on his GQ, I think he like it off road.

Be careful!

when you have one bolt removed on one side you will find that when you jump on the breaks down hill the side that has the two bolts will want to tip the car over(all the torqe is controled by one side of the car).

I does help the car flex up but not good for control!!!!

As Maggot said, JK rates it

I have wheeled with him when he did the "poor mans flex" and it flexed a lot more without any considerable negatives.

i've done it heaps of times on my patrol ute .. only bad points is it gets lots of body roll on side slopes .. nothing noticeable going up or down hills
i don't feel it gave me any real advantage to when the bolt is in ...
just adapt ur driving style to the situation

Search for some replys the Strange Rover (sam) made ages ago. He tried this using a RR and wrote some fairly comprehensive stuff about the affects.

Is it worth the hassle for a few more inches up the ramp tonight? It will get you about 5-6 inches further up I'm guessing.... See you there...
