So I had a chance to use Brian's RTI ramp today and it provided a great opportunity for some photos of the truck's articulation.
First up, Brian flexed his fully-built 2nd gen. After he showed off, you can bet that I wouldn't even come close to that kind of flex. Oh well...

I think I'm getting held up by the sway bar's current limitations...

On the compressed side, my rear bump stop is just barely touching, but yet my hanging wheel is completely off the ground. Sway bar limitations or rear FZJ80 'cruiser shock limitations?

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I also noticed that the fronts were never fully compressed. There was still a good 1.0" between the bumpstop and the components up front. Is this a limitation of the front shock? Or am I overlooking something else? Just looking to get the "most" out of this great suspension set-up for my relatively stock 4Runner. Thanks.
