eh...I get what you are saying about a dyno but there are a TON of variable for power generation as well as power measurement. with a ramp its literally just a chunk of metal at the same uniform angle. so long as the ramps are close enough to the same angle its not going to make a bit of...

Sorry, I did a really bad job explaining it. RTI is ramp travel index. The ramp travel is the obvious part - i.e. you drive a single tire up a ramp, usually 20 degrees until the opposite side rear tire is in free air - and the index is a way to convert the distance traveled up the ramp into a...

Never been a problem on my Toyota. I think its more a factor how how the drag link is setup more than anything.

Flex balance isn't as kind with shorter wheelbases, with RTI is how high up the ramp you go over wheelbase, longer trucks go higher (further up a rock in the real world). The RTI score balances that by putting it over wheelbase but in the real world short wheelbases go less up up the ramp.

Thing is, the KDSS on the 4runner and Land Cruiser give just as much flex as my SFA 80 series, but they are harder to lift and more prone to breakage. I think we will never again see an SFA Toyota in the US again sadly. Good news is that I hear the 300 series is supposed to be a little more...

Aye, thats me. HHFP is my "brand" identity where I don't use my real name.

They did and it really helps total flex. Flex balance is also important and in that regard IFS is a little let down but if you have to choose between higher total flex or more balance flex, higher total usually wins. My 80 series SFA doesn't actually flex all that great in the front (radius arm...

One thing to remember in the on road dynamics between SFA and IFS is the way the front axle on SFA is located. The Jeeps 5 link setup is what gives it mad flex but its also what makes it suck on road. other SFA designs like leaf or radius arms (like my land cruiser) still are affected on the...

Ha, no a friend of mine that is looking for a Bronco sent this to me. Just wanted to pop in to see if people had additional questions. Glad I was able to illuminate a little. Thats the main reason I write. Thanks again.

Thanks for the shoutout! If anyone has any questions about what I wrote let me know. I get carried away in the details and sometimes don't write as clearly as I would like.
