Flexing Out-Back - Pics Inside

[anothernord]

For giggles, I tested the flex on my OB, nothing done suspension wise except a 24mm FSB. For a car, its not bad, the back wheel went up 12" before the front left tire started to come off.

that is unsafe on many levels... but nice find! haha

How is that unsafe?

Well done Jared, any idea how much a stiffer sway reduces such flex? Whiteline used to have a chart out and the increase from 14-15mm to 22mm was almost 200% increase in stiffness, which I assume would reduce total wheel travel. My setup is inverse of yours (rear sway instead of front), but in retrospect I think I would like to add a front bar if is doesn't totally kill the travel.

18mm to 20mm I think was 50% increase in stiffness.

You should get another flex pic with that dakota or ram or whatever it is for comparison but that outback has some pretty good flex for a car.

I think the Dakota went up 22 inches. He's got solid axles and a way longer wheelbase. I thought it was a funny comparison.
