Suspension Flex?

Anyone care to post any pictures of the 04+ F150 suspension flex, stock or otherwise? I've seen a ton of pictures of lifted F150's on here but they are always sitting on level ground.
I'm looking to replace my 05 Sport Trac with an F150 Supercrew, and I'm curious what the basic suspension is capable of.
These are a couple of older pictures of my sport trac, with completely stock suspension (3" body lift), and disconnected sway bars...



Thanks

No one has pictures of their suspension working off road?
Does everyone here who lifts theirs trucks just do it for looks?

Sweet, thanks guys. Any of you ever disconnect the sway bar end links offroad or does the sway bar interfere with the suspension? (I haven't had a real good look under these trucks in a while)

That's better!
Looks like you have actual lift springs instead of stacking blocks and add-a-leaf's. I also don't see any rear sway bar.
What are you running for springs and shocks in the back?

Nevermind, just found that you have 6" deavers and 4" blocks....
Thanks for posting those. How about any front end articulation?

front in the pics ive got has almost none. I have king's coilovers right here next to me that should help with that. I just have had zero time to put anything on since starting my new job. Most posts are made from my phone lately Unhooking the sway bar like you mentioned would also help.

Yeah it is a swet looking sport trac. I traded my 05 sport trac for a 07 F150 and I never looked back. So much more room on the inside.

First off, great lookin' Sport Trac!

Secondly, man! Way too many mild pics. I know a good number of the trucks on this site see offroad action, but it's mostly just mud. I love going down/up a nice technical trail (if the truck will fit). Although slower, it's a lot more fun for me.

I'll try and get some pics within a couple weeks!
