It's preference from what I've gathered. I like a lot of flex, about 75-90 degrees. Some will say that is too much though.

I've played around with a few different amounts of flex. I found on my tlt the more flex the easier it rolled over(probably could cure that with some driving skill). When I went with about 50 -60 deg. it seemed more stable. Thats just my opinion. You really have to play with the possible setups yourself, no one can give you that "golden" setup because it varies for each person.

I have found that 60 to 70 degrees is the sweet spot for me.

It really depends on what you're driving on. 80% should be fine. Maybe a little less would work better.

I've never actually measured the angle I can get and don't really care to. Just guessing,it's probly around 50 to 60 degrees. What I try to do when I set mine up. Get it so when the truck is sitting on 2 of the sidewalls of the tires,the body is in the same,or nearly the same possition as if it were sitting on all four tires. If you set it down on 2 of the sidewalls and the body leans over and touches the tires,workbench or whatever,it's WAY to soft. If it'll sit on 2 sidewalls and not lean over much,concidering your weight is placed good,it'll be really stable. After that,if your left with 45-55 degrees of flex,IMHO,thats pleanty.

I have found that limiting the travel helps in the terrain i run in since the small 2.2 tires have a tendency to fall into gaps between the rocks. I can also run the body lower which helps my COG.

My g/f's TLT is about 75 deg. and my Clod gets 90 deg. If you are getting your truck all twisted up in the terrain you run on, and it's getting locked up, limit it a little. Whatever you do, don't try to go PAST 90.
