if you have one wheel spinning with zero resistance then you can still get stuck. You can drive around this if your cleaver. Personally high flex suspension is for show, lockers for go.

better to have as many wheels on the ground as possibly rather than flapping around in mid air

WLM i disagree, you could argue better stability. But if the wheel is close to the ground at max droop silly flexing like you see then there is bugger all weight on it and it will still take x weight when the vehicles weight is put on it.
The money involved in getting lots of flex (properly) could imo be better spent on lockers and traction aids. If you have lockers and want to have some show then great.
A wheel in the air with a locker is no problem

series motors with poor suspenion travel (in comparison) and lockers are by far better than any flex kit you can buy.

what has that wheel being in the ground actually helped your forward motion?

We could argue the points all day same as wide vs skinny tyres Frankly I haven't got time I gotta bolt my roll age down! And you have better thins to do I'm sure wlm!
We will agree to disagree!!

Good video that, shows exactly how lockers do the business better than expensive show off suspension. Better of course to have both, but having to choose between them, go for lockers every time.

me n jai always agree to disagree
as i said earlier
people with arbs say there better than detroit trutrac etc
people with truetrac say there better than arbs
people who dont have trick suspension say u dont need it and its rubbish
people who have trick suspension swear by it
do you see the pattern emerging
all i know what i have works for me
and yes jase now have cones on the axle and springs now attached to the chassis works loads better

not according to some people the wheel apparantly works better in mid air as theres a special time continium that the wheel can get traction oni only mentioned the suspension as if the trutrac requires both wheels to be touching the ground, surely the extra flex would be of great benefit?

that's for girls, try a 37" on Wolf Rims.you've never tried lifting a 35" tyre/rim then !

That would be one strange looking wheel ! Think wolf rims only take up to 235mm width, it'll look like a squashed penny

Well i tried my locker and trutac out and what a diffrence I'll try get a vid up. It just drags through up and over where other people just couldn't get.
The locker is locked simple as. The trutrac us a torque biasing limited slip working with gears not clutch/ friction plates, equal traction on both tyres if one lifts into the air it can spin faster as it doesn't lock but for simple maths 75% of the torque to the front will be lost but you get atleast 25% of the torque if,
As for extreme travel suspention if you have both that and locking diffs even better, if you can just afford one them I'd have locking diffs, followed a disco with massive travel suspention and my 90 went further with the diffs than the disco with trick suspention
