on road, it drives and feels great - i know, i have riden in a jk with it on. the only point of this video is to point out that it has very limited felx and according to RE, they wanted it that way. of course, this train of though goes completely against the train of though of what jeepers are looking for. if their thinking is correct, why bother disconnecting your swaybar links?
being that your just south of me, i hope you will join us on our runs.

Looking forward to it. I'm monitoring the regional board to see when the next run is.
Thanks,
Will it at least flex as much as stock?

I must have missed the "very" limited flex part. I heard him say that it would bind a point thus limiting it. My brother in law and I both had RE long arm kits on our TJs and they flexed great. It may not flex like a Rock Krawler but saying it is very limited is a bit much.

Ive got the RE 4.5 and I have really enjoyed the flex. It definitely flexs a whole lot better than stock(I'm not sure you can even compare the two) and rides better too. I'm running 35" KM2's at about 34psi and IMO this setup is perfect, I couldn't ask for more. It is a very complete kit with well built components and the whole kit works well together. Nice flex pic!

I'm very happy with mine, I also understand there's always something better out. I wheel mine a lot and have never been disappointed, I also took on-road performance into my initial purchase.
Here's a shot of mine, at the time I was running 37" KM2's and it would drop the tire completely below the body.
