i am wonder if there is an easy way to get some more flex out of my 88 sammi. it has an spoa with 32". i am going crawling this weekend and have never been. just looking for some more flex. besides pulling the sway bar and ordering part. parts store parts r cool. it will taketo long to ship ordered parts.

it sounds to me that you might have a slight rubbing prob. mabey? don't know you wheel offset. so bring somthing to rearange(sp) metal with. but i hear a spoa is a farly flexy anyway.

Longer shocks maybe, or relocate the existing ones. If you don't want to do it before you go take some tools with you and remove the sway bar.

take apart your springs and put a little dab of grease inbetween them. Put antiseeze on all your bushings(light coat). take a leaf out of your springs(will make it sit lower and be more prone to axel wrap) Other than that flex it out and look at whats limiting the travel. Then change that.

thax for the info guys the only thing i haven't done is take apart the leaf pack.

The least you could do is give me a challenging question. The first thing you do is put 1 1/2"- 2" lift shackles on it front and rear, and then take the stock front bumper off, and cut the stock bumper brackets off so the tires will clear, and you put a modified set of rear springs on the front. By modified, I mean you take the rear spring pack and remove the center bolt and the short overload leaf, you then take the stock front spring apart and put the 2 short leafs from the stock fronts and put them on the rear spring packs, repeat a total of twice. Put a new center bolt in, with the round side down, and bolt the springs in the truck. You have to trim the bumpstop bracket on the rear edges so the shocks will clear. Put lower shock mounts on and put longer shocks all around, you will be amazed at the capability!
