Where are you seeing this? I've watched the video a few times and haven't seen any flexing.Awesome! Looking like I'll want some rocker armor for my BL, those looked weak.

I will just place this here in case someone is confused about IFS and SFA articulation, IFS will ALWAYS "hang" a tire.

You can get a long travel IFS suspension, but you are going to pay dearly for it.
Even those have their limits when compared to SFA. Length of control arm is the limiting factor.
IFS only articulates on the ends not the whole axle acting as a lever. here is a little pic I had posted in other threads to get my meaning across.

At the 1:05 mark. You can see the door dented/scratched and the rocker guard (or whatever Ford calls them to protect under the doors) is bent, at least that what it looks like. Check out Poison Spyder rocker armor, you'll see the difference. I hope to have new armor in the garage before the Bronco shows up!Where are you seeing this?

Ok, are there any benefits to IFS when crawling or in the rocks? I'm stretching here, but maybe if you have a single front tire with more pressure and flatter angle that it could grab better than two tires at a higher angle and less pressure? I know I just contradicted years of wheeling knowledge, the higher ground pressure has to count for something.Even those have their limits when compared to SFA.

The rock rail is fine, just scuffed (it's what happens) & just put some diamond plate on the lower part of the door & it should be fine.At the 1:05 mark.

Is that not the one pedal that does both? I thought that was only available in autoPretty sure all recent Ford manuals have it...
Why would you need it on an auto??
I think this thread convinced me to upgrade from the black diamond to the badlands. Want the sway bar disconnect.

Yes, THAT is correct. One pedal is available on the 2.7 and auto. Maybe we're talking about 2 different things.Is that not the one pedal that does both? I thought that was only available in auto
Yes I was confused I thought it was the same thing.Yes, THAT is correct. One pedal is available on the 2.7 and auto. Maybe we're talking about 2 different things.
I was talking about how it (almost) didn't rollback in the video.
I guess on road going cars with manual, they'd call it hill start assist..?
Wait is that IFS??? YEP.For the record they could care less about a 50K rig because the rigs they regularly thrash are in the 100K range.
