In the world of custom fabrication, 'eyeballing it' is a recipe for a broken shock or a shredded tire on your first outing. This video takes you inside the WOD shop to walk through our essential Flex Testing process.
Before we ever lay a final bead of weld, we cycle the suspension through its full range of motion—from full bump to full droop, and into a total cross-axle flex [05:40]. We show you how to check for critical clearance issues with shock bodies, tire-to-frame rub, and steering ram interference [06:28]. Whether you’re building a weekend thrasher or a master-level buggy, if you aren't flex testing with your actual tires and shocks on the rig [07:52], you're just guessing. Learn the WOD way to ensure your rig performs as good as it looks.
