Default RK 2.5 max flex

Plenty of flex with this kit. Disconnecting the swaybar links is must.

Ouch! Man that is a lot of flex, I'm looking at the rk 2.5 flex. How long are your shocks? Did you have any bump stops?

The shocks are 27.5 fully extended. I will get bump stops when I get bigger tires no need for them yet. The ride is great and the quality of the parts are top notch.

Nothing yet, just going to fully disconnect for now. I was considering limiting straps.

(btw, fully disconnected the front passenger spring came out while flexed but I think it had to do with the coil hitting the upper bump stop because the axle wasn't centered enough)
