RTI Ramp

Here's a pic taken yesterday before the coil spacer lift:

It's a 30 deg. ramp and I scored a 413. Haven't had a chance to test it since the lift.

Yep, a friend of mine from our club almost put his Bronco on its lid right before I tried the ramp. :o

A rear locker will help you a lot on an RTI ramp. It gives you that extra little push where a regular diff would start spinning out.

Also try doing it on pavement.  If your on gravel or dirt your tires will start spinning before your truck maxes out.

will his rti be higher with coil spacers?? i dont know anything about track kicks

Once I do the strut mount flip and get longer shocks for the rear it will. ;D As Kreg stated a locker would have also helped. I had a ton of wheelspin on gravel.

I don't think the truck will flex any further even with the coil spacers installed.

Shock length is the main factor when it comes to flex because it is usually your shock that limits the travel of the axel.

Coil spacers (or longer coils) just make the truck sit higher on the shock's stroke, which in conclusion lifts the truck higher.

If you want your truck to flex more you will need to install longer shocks to utilize your longer coils.

Edit: Doh! TN_Tracker beat me to it :P
