At the Ocean City Jeep Week at the end of August, I went up the articulation ramp they had setup at the Jeep Jam playground. I’ve never done this yet, so I’m curious if this articulation is good or does it suck? I believe I could have gone up farther since all the tires weren’t off the ground.

Looks good to me, tucking up in there. What lift are you running and did you get a pic of the driver side?

Looks good to me. It probably has a ways to go in real trail articulation.

I don't have a kit, but I am using the parts below. I may have a drivers side pic, but will have to go back through the pics and videos. My girlfriend was being photographer and videographer. :) There was a line of other Jeepers waiting to get on the ramp, so I didn't want to waste too much time.

Rusty's Off Road 2 inch springs and coil isolators
Falcon SP2 3.3 adjustable reservoir shocks
Falcon Nexus EF 2.1 steering stabilizer
Rock Krawler adjustable track bars (front and rear)
Rock Krawler adjustable control arms (all 8)
Mopar sway bar end links from the 2 inch lift kit
Teraflex bump stops and strike pads

Take it on some trails. Only posers and mall crawlers run the ramp. Just kidding. LOL
I don't get out on the trail as much as I would like, but it's not a total mall crawler. lol More videos from recent off roading are being worked. :)

Do you have a pic of the other side on the ramp ? You mentioned you’re using the sway links from the Mopar lift, your shocks extend 2 ish inches more than the Mopar lift shocks. If you’re using the electronic disconnect you might be getting to straightened out and have a chance of sway bar inverting….

I'll have to check all the pics and vids for something on the drivers side. I did use the electronic disconnect. I'll have to look into that. Thanks!
