Would really like this to be the start of a show off and information thread.
Post a photo of your Jeep flexed, and drop some details. Lift size and shocks, tire size.

We have always built our jeeps by maxing out flex vs an off the shelf. Finding information like 28” max length front shocks with a stock drive shaft are helpful bits! So, any helpful information would be great with your photo!

Our jk…. That hopefully one day our JT will be able to out flex!

Video from the inside on a frame twister at Rausch Creek with a bone stock JTRD. The tilt meter was showing 32*.

Here‘s my Australian spec 2020 Rubicon running a 2.5” lift from a local Jeep specialist shop (Murchison Products in Brisbane). Shocks are Falcon 3.3 for 2-3” lift with 2” bumps. I’m really impressed with the flex I get out of this set up.

First two pics are with 305/70r17 on stock rims, third is 37x12.5” on Dirty Life Canyon Pro 17x9”.

Great shots. I’ve always said, “Ain’t no wheelin, like three wheelin!”
I really like hanging 37’s. Fun feeling if slow and controlled.

But I have lots of pictures of the TJ

Rear tires are inside out. On purpose?
Lol, great catch ! This pic is over one year old. I did not even notice that a few were inside/out until a few days after they were mounted. I went back and they mounted them correctly.... Those tires wore out fast. I did try mounting them inside/out at the end to help the longevity, but, The Rubicon Trail was coming up, so, I got nervous and just changed them out. Those tires are long gone now, and I am running the Yokohama Geolandars MTRs. So far, I like them better. Softer sidewall, less chunking, great grip, much less noise. They did great at The Rubicon Trail.

My bone stock Sport S and @Jocww his lifted Rubicon on 37s and a little parking lot curb flex on someone's Rubicon ?? hoping to get the apex disconnects soon. I'm sure that will help as well as the AEV lift.

Clayton 3.5" Overland plus lift kit, Falcon adjustable shocks (28.3" long front, 32.3" long rear shocks). 37" tires.

32” rear! I’d be interested to see how high this will allow the rear. I suspect around 42”+\-

yeah, the shocks are longer than the Clayton 3.5" rear dual rate springs that I am running. You really need triple rate springs with those shocks, but, I really like the Clayton springs.... I just installed a rock jock antirock rear sway bar and added the teraflex coil clamp kit to make sure I do not dislodge my coils at full articulation. With the coil clamps and the weight of the diff. and tires, I am just about getting the full 32.3 inches now, still TBC... Here are the Falcon shock lengths.

Note: I am also installing the new Teraflex "extended brake line, abs, diff breather, emergency brake" kit. I already have the Clayton 3.5 inch lift (red) brake line extensions in the rear, but, this new Teraflex braided brake line kit is approx 5 inches longer than the Clayton brake extension lines (red) - which currently get tight at full articulation...

Went driving around my property today, and drove up on a rock. My Jeep makes that rock look a lot smaller than I thought it was. Also, we desperately need some rain. My tank is almost dried up. I guess if I ever want to fix my bridge, now is the time to do it.
