RTI scores?

[mixedupjeeper]

This weekend I was finally had a chance to run the RTI ramp with my XJ. I had a score of 192. For a daily driver I hope that was decent. Just out of curiosity what are everyones RTI Scores?

scored a 250 in my daily driver yota with a 123 in wheel base i think thats good but im not completly sure.

On what degree ramp? Are you sure you're calculating it right? I bet a stock XJ would do about 500 on a 20 degree ramp...

Or maybe I've been around coilovers and four links too long and my perception's out of whack.

 

[big cherokee]

im pretty sure it was a 30 degree ramp

 

[big cherokee]

would be nice to loose 20in off my truck

Sorry I've never taken scores... but I noticed that you (mixedupjeeper) have an XJ and I have some XJ flex pics on my comp you'd probably like....


The one on the RTI ramp is just an XJ that I've found online, and the pics of the one on the rock was my XJ

The guys at the DATC off road show did the calclating so I'm not completly sure if it was calculated right. here are a few pics sorry about the resolution my camera has seen better days.

Thats some major flex. Very nice rigs how long have you been building yours?

I think my buggy ramped a 380 or something on the old mepco ramp (40*?). Flex = extremely overrated.

Flex = extremely overrated.

Seriously.. A ramp is not a practical way to judge a suspension

I used to think flex was the shiat......but you know what, my rig is FAR more capable now then it has ever been and I still have many changes to do to limit the flex even more.

I've only done an RTI ramp once and that was in my old XJ.....don't even recall the score I got though and couldn't care less.

RTI Ramp= Welcome to ten years ago!

If my spring would have stayed in and that was on a ramp it would have prob. done well

If you want to improve your ramp score go see someone at Teraflex. They can sell you some really sweet revolver shackles that will double you score.

P.S. They will do more harm than good, but if flex is what you desire they are the BOMB

 

[big cherokee]

ya same here im very happy with the flex my truck has as far as fitting 39 in
tires under it and still flexing with minimul lift.


rti ramp was more for picture taking.

Last time I hit a ramp was in the Rainbow Warrior.....I think that it scored about 820 on Mepco's ramp.....whatever degree that was.

I've never had mine scored can someone tell me how it works?

I'm not looking for crazy flex i just was curious what everyones scores were. and would'nt revolver shackles eliminate what lift I do have in the rear?

 

[mixedupjeeper]

i forgot to add one thing if i was going for crazy flex would'nt it be better to convert to a coil over or 4 link?

Your front suspension is already a 4 link. You could do a 4 link rear, but that would just be silly.
