I'm just curious what kind of flex the H2's have. I know the IFS is kinda hurt things a bit in that area, but I've seen some amazing IFS flex before. Here's what I can do:



BTW, I have a whopping $30 into my whole suspension setup.

Let's see what you guys can do!

Some nice droop there! Was that somewhere around the Rampart/Dakan area? Looks like that big rock on Dakan Rd.

The H2 won't offer that much travel up front. It's a trade-off with IFS that I gladly accept. I had a Grand and Chevy Blazer and the ride was fairly harsh on rough roads, where the H2 soaks-up the bumps with ease.

99% of my driving time is on paved roads, so I prefer IFS. If I had a trail-only rig, then I'd probably opt for a Jeep TJ or another Grand. Some of the new rock crawlers are IFS and IRS setups, so people are getting creative with the technology.

I find that I can pick different lines than I might with a solid axle setup and still go most of the places and more than I could with my other trucks.

There are quite a few times where I would prefer IFS. Mainly on-road or hi-speed off-road. And you don't get Death Wobble with IFS!

personally I'd rather have lockers or some type of traction control than a flexy suspension. in off-camber situations with a full roof rack, stiffer and solid is more reassuring. plus you have a better chance getting over, through, whatever when locked frt and rear.

This is the best picture I have . It is about a 12 inches down from its normal spot, its kidna had to tell. I don't take pictures of me flexing, too busy driving.

Albie's pic really shows why diff traction controls are more effective that a flexy suspension for real time traction vs RTI scores.

Do the H2's have some sort of LSD or locker in the front?

For me its been kinda pointless/not practical to get any lockers or LSD. Up until about 3-4 months ago I had a full time t-case, so if I had put a lock-rite or anything up there besides a selectable, onroad driving would be a major PITA. In the rear, the axle I currently have isn't worth it. It's a weak POS and I'm going to eventually replace, probably replace the front too for added strength. Until then I have to rely on the skinny pedal and articulation since it was a lot cheaper for me to make a flexy suspension than buy lockers.

Its actually a pretty cool system:

"TCS/TC2
The Single Wheel traction control system gives you traction when you need it most. The system detects a slipping wheel and applies brake pressure to slow it down, it then takes the energy that would have otherwise gone to the slipping wheel and transfers it to a wheel that's not slipping. With this system, you could have as many as three wheels on a slippery surface (virtually no traction) and still get enough torque out of the fourth wheel to move the truck up a 10% grade.

The H2's base TCS mode is great for normal hard surface traction needs, like on-road use, off-road rock crawling or ice and snow. But once you hit a variable surface like deep mud, sand or gravel the TC2 takes over. The TC2 works just like TCS but allows limited wheel spin to help gain even more traction.

So with three transfer case selections, two rear axle differential selections and two modes provided by the TCS mode switch, you actually have a total of seven driving mode selections in the H2, providing you with the ability to match the performance of the H2 with almost any driving condition."

ItsaJeepThing95,

check out my pics for some nice flex (marshalls sas taco, and mark's sas '86 yota)

ifs sucks!, I've driven both...

when you are in rocks and doing hardcore wheeling, a solid font axle will help...
