Flexing your trucks

Hey guys show off some pics of the truck flexing..
Im curious also to what lift and springs set up your running, trying to plan out for myself because Id like to get a bit of flex but don't want to sacrifice roadability, probably going to start off with a rcx lift tho

Lets see em

I won't be rock climbing or doing ridiculous hill climbing, just want to get the little flex neccisary for the trails, a few small hills and in and out of mud holes
so I dont think I need the bronco graveyard kit but I still want to see some of the things you guys got

I have stock suspension and I keep up with my buddies linked bronco and another buddies rubicon with a 2 inch lift. Our trucks are very capable off road as they are. I cant find a good picture of mine tho.

F150's with stock suspension, do not flex. Kind of like asking a pig to fly.

An F-150 is never going to be the ultimate trail rig ... that doesn't mean you can't go a lot of places and have a lot of fun doing it.

Stock suspension is a joke.

tinian I love your truck I wish I could do something like that, hopefully when I get a pre 97 I can get even half way there, Id really like to get a decent amount of flex like that, just so I can stay pretty level know matter what im going through

and lightning expo 7.5 inch lift is for 2 wheel drives right? I guess that right there is just another show of fabtech quality
