if i recall correctly, the joints on the RE kit start to bind with as little as 7" of droop. does this mean that it won't go further than that? not at all, you can force your axle to droop more but at the cost to the bushings - given enough force, the mounts they are attached to as well.

IMO, I think a bunch of people are just up in arms because of the above statement and people feeling the need to defend RE.
Me, I'm just enjoying seeing all these swank set ups. How much is one of my kidneys worth in todays market?
Wish I had gone long arm to begin with :(

seriously, i hear what you're saying and hope you and everyone can understand that i am simply stating my opinions and as much as possible, trying to back them up with proof. was my "little to no flex" comment an exaggeration? maybe to you but that's the way i, as in me personally, see it. certainly, you don't have to like the things i say or even agree with them and as you can see with all the people who have gotten "up in arms" and felt the need to "defend RE", they all have their opinions as well and i welcome it.
(BTW: i have edited the post in question to more accurately depict what was being said.)

i hope this isn't too much to ask but would it be possible to agree to disagree about the whole RE long arm kit thing and get back on topic? i mean, if you love your RE long arm kit, wonderful. if you enjoy the flex it gives you, even better - i'm sincerely happy for you.
since it seems to have been lost, this thread was originally created to highlight the Off Road Evolution EVO coilover system and what it can offer you even with a good set of short arms. Once again, based on what I have seen, it is MY OPINION that it offers just as much flex as most long arm kits and in MY OPINION, more so than a long arm kit with radius arms right out of the box. THIS IS JUST MY OPINION and i have done what i can to try to back it up with what i consider to be the best possible photos i could take to enforce it. certainly, you don't have to agree with it or even like it.
as a reminder, we just posted Part-2 of the EVO system install and it can now be seen here:

Ok, on topic question. How much space is there between the EVO lever rear and the trunk? I have the Woods tub and want to know if I would have to rework that if I decided to go this route.
Just realized that I should probably be posting this in the part 2 section so I guess it is not strictly "on topic".
