How exactly do I go about measuring the amount of flex. I know that I lift it up by the tires until it almost flips over but then what?

Anything I should be looking at other than looking for rubbing?

If you’re lifted, also look for sufficient brake line length, suspension components binding and not allowing maximum articulation, driveshaft contact, shock body hitting the frame, proper bump stop length...I’m sure I’m forgetting something.

So do you just lift the rear tire? When do you stop lifting? When a tire is close to off the ground?
