Lowering your suspension damper does not increase your lift!

i know lowering ur shocks doesn't give you a lift but your brake pipes need 2 be long enough wen the axle is a full articulation cos i seen the brakes on competition motors come down the radius arms i am not stupid

Challenge trucks might secure the flexi to the suspension arm to protect it, or to limit the amount of flexi in the system, but probably to stop it flapping around.

You can use plus 2 inch flexis if you also lower the flexi mouting brackets.

The best one I've seen is on a Hill Rally motor: the solid lines run to the chassis at the back end of the front radius arms, and a loooong flexy runs down the C-Spanner to the brakes.... really clever.
