You can run a 20mm longer shock, which has 10mm more compressed length, and still be at the factory ride height and bottom out in the the same position as the stock shocks.

You pick up 10mm of travel without hurting COG or anything else.

Too much flex for sure. With too much flex the truck wants to rollover in situations where it wouldn't if flex was limited.

Obviously the taller height is going to hurt it in situations as well, but you gain ground clearance at the chassis.

How about posting a flex pic with the body actually mounted on the chassis instead of sitting on it all crooked and cross eyed?

Maybe it is obvious but: what bike is that in the background?
Anyway, I like the idea of turning the lift-kit into a flex-kit

looks like an electric Pivot. So basically one that costs more than my 1:1 Jeep.

I'd like a Pivot, but I got such a good deal on my Intense Carbine 29C I couldn't pass it up. Fun bike for sure and it will run anything over like its not there.
