how can i get more flex out of coils

[spencurai]

the trac-bar should be fine with bushings. it wont' limit flex noticably. You just have to deal with the radius arm of doom design. Wristed arms are the only thing you can change to get more flex.

you can't take off the trac-bar or your axle will stay still when you turn the wheels and your body will move back and forth....Poly bushings on radius arms limit flex too...get a couple sets of rubbers.

I didn't think there was a way to safely test the track bar limiting factor. It does have poly bushings in it though.

Not quite true. Here is a shot of Pumkinbronc's EB. The radius arms are not wristed. It's all about the overall design. Your trac-bar should be as long as is physically possible and be paralell to your upper steering linkage such that they move in the same arc.

so should the length of the track bar and the drag link be the same?

In a perfect world , yes. But it is usually not feasible, so just try and get the ends to move in the same arc when the suspension cycles.
