Flex!!
Out here in the California and most of the Western United States, big ass rocks is the name of the game and pushing your suspension to the limit is the way to play. Needless to say, for me personally, flex and as much as I can get out of my rig is something that I'm always looking for. From experience, more flex means keeping all four on the floor longer, meaning more traction and meaning more stability. However, I realize that not everyone plays the same way if for no other reason than the fact that not everyone has the same kind of terrain to play on. So, what I want to know is, how important is flex to you? Is it something that you are looking for as well or is flex something you consider to be over rated?

Ohio has a mix of everything, On top of flex we need a suspension that will not unload on steep muddy hill climbs. It narrows the choices down on lift kits that offer both.

Rather than answer on the poll, I'll do it my way.....no surprise there. I think flex is important.....for MY use, the stock Jeep has plenty of flex for ME with the front sway bar disconnected. I may never disconnect it, who knows? These things are very capable in stock form, so unless you're going to go outside the stock capabilities, I think the stock flex is good. Nothing against modded rigs at all. If that's what you want, knock yourself out.

I'll take flex any day. As much as i can get within my budget. There are plenty of options to get both ride and flex. and if i had to chose I would still take flex first. If i wanted ride, I'd buy a sedan.

flex without proper control is detrimental.
anti-squat is a very important feature, for me, that i see almost every JK lift as lacking, except for Rockkrawler. i spend a lot of time on hill climbs.
