    I noticed most on here replied : "it rides good" ...

    How does these bolt on kits flex ? Does anyone have any good flex picts ? RTI picts/scores ? I wouldn't mind spending the $500 for a BDS if it will out flex the cheaper kits .

    From what I've seen, the 2.5 BDS flexes well. I watched DrewDog's pretty closely on our last Tioga trip. Initially they tend to be a bit stiff, but loosen up after a trip or two offroad. IMHO, the BDS doesn't flex quite as well as my Skyjacker Softride, but then the BDS doesn't sag with added weight either, like the Skyjacker will. It's all a compromise, in one direction or another ;)

    EDIT: ramp score? I ramped a 920 on a 20* ramp a few years ago. I probably could have gone higher with a better wheel position on the ramp. A real-life representation of how mine flexes is the short trail video of mine over on Oxcreek (just ignore the squealing PS belt :rofl: )

    The last selection in this album is the video. Caution, it's a big file, 5.6M, takes a LONG time to download (dims the lights too). Don't even think about it if you're on dial-up!
