well RIGHT NOW nothing as far as suspension its the least of my worries right now cuz i need some other junk more than i want to do this but i do want to get a nice suspension for it that i know can articulate well. right now i have just plain old rancho 9000 shocks. im assuming they dont do much for hard stuff such as this?That is a loaded question. Depending on whom you talk to you can get 10 different answers from 10 different people. As far as the absolute best articulation goes? Well are you willing to spend money or are you just wanting to do an economy lift? I can tell you how to go about getting the best articulation, in my opinion anyhow, but to get there you are looking at a price tag of roughly 5-grand to get close. For the economy, you can get away with going with the Cage lift kit. Cage has probably the best flexing lift on the market at current time. For the extreme, you have to go with a 4-link with coil overs that requires a little enginuity to do it yourself or quite a bit of money to have someone else do it for you. If you want to go that way, Google 4-link. That is as far as suspension goes.
You can get more articulation out of your rig if you are locked. If two vehicles are identicle with the exception of 1 is locked f & r, and the other is open, the locked rig will have more "articulation" because the locker forces the vehicle up the ramp with all 4 tires vs. the open carrier doing it with only 2 tires.
So, in all reality, how much money do you want to spend?
