Bundy Flex

I'm just wondering about the potential of the coil setup on Bundy's. How much do the radius arms limit flex and how much flex can you actually get
Has anyone got pics of Bundy's at full travel?
Is it possible to modify/ remove the arms or replace them with a different style of link? They seem like a good bus if you could get em to flex up.

Flex on a bundy?........asif
Out of the factory they really do lack in the flex department!!
Whack in a set of long travel shocks (like long travel ones for an 80 series/gu) and a good set of springs and your good.
As for the coils there are many things u can do...some work well and some dont.
Taking off the front swaybar does help quite a lot but onroad without the swaybar it is lethal! Depends how u drive I suppose but even slow I found it quite scary!
Ask Daniel (Bundytime) and dumbdunce they should have some good shots of bundy flex both standard and modified.
I have attaced a pic of the rear flex i got with custom 6inch springs and standard 80series shocks. The shocks were way too short and limited the travel way too much. I dont run that setup anymore but longer shocks would have fixed it!
Regards
Nick

read this thread:

but pretty much out of the box bundy flex is crap, front and rear the setup is identical to the pathetic GQ/U patrol front, it's trash. you ahve to choose between control (hard bushes, sway bar, hard springs) or flex (soft, soft soft), and the body roll and lack of on-road control is pretty scary.
the rear is dying for an upper A-arm 3 link setup and I reckon it's possible to 5-link the front, maybe one day I'll do it but for now got me an 80 series to build and customers to be nice to :)
let me know if you want full size of those pics.
