Because the shocks aren't limiting your travel unless you have some seriously flexy leaves

 

Dakar's are in my opinion, some of the bottom of the list leaf pack options that still yield a good amount of flex.

Plenty of posters on TW have done shock relocations while still using say, Dakar's, and being able to utilize the additional travel the shock offers....why? Because they have a longer traveling shock and they've adjusted their bump stops to reflect this which only tells me, aftermarket leaf packs (even direct replacements) offer a good deal of flex.

Maybe not to the point where you're using your truck the way you do...but enough to take advantage of longer traveling shocks via shock relocation.

Well this turned into a city sponsored recovery lol

 

I dont see water up to the hood

So he has a tresspassing ticket?

 

Look at the rear in the second pic, you can see how high the water was.

 

looks like a bad idea for anyone without 37's+ and a lot of momentum. That shit was way too deep for homie lol

 

Oh shit i just saw the water line hes fucked

 

Impressive

 

If u got the money and don't mind the mud being in places it shouldn't be; some may see it as a "good idea". Me personally I haven't mudded in years haha.



Broke my power steering pump in the previous ram cause it was another 2wd truck and I was cranking the wheel left and right without the front tires spinning while mudding. We all are not immune to dumb shit

 

Whats so wrong with turning your tires while not moving... sounds like a chrysler thing

 

My front end was up to the bumper and top of fenders in thick farmland mud. Tires not spinning means they aint cutting into the thick mud to relieve some friction/stress of the wheels turning left and right. Physics

 

Ah so the tires were just pushing mud, topsoil mud i dont have and the clay mud i have are different

you dont sink in clay even if your tires are spinning at 60

 

No dorkel either

 

yup, like 2 giant paddles struggling to wade back and forth through the thick muck. Eventually that shit just snapped and it was my fault for not thinking

My pops drove the damn thing back without any power steering and was using his full body weight to turn the wheels on our way home haha

 

Lol back then 7-8 years ago Instagram wasn't as huge to promote the "dorkel" scene when I owned that truck.

Only a 2 inch spacer and some 265's like a classic high school kid

 

Of course...I buy $4k worth of stuff one month ago

 

steering isn't really meant to be constantly working. it builds up a lot of heat really quickly and heat causes the fluid to break down and contributes to pump failures


I've killed 2 power steering pumps on the trails just doing lots of slow switchbacks
