Jon was much more accurate in his description of why it is not PERCIEVED to be flexing, than Crusty's short quip (even though that too is correct) When Jon (Joop) tilted so far onto his side, he offloaded the suspension articulation corner to corner, and rather shifted EQUALY all the weight onto the passanger side. In reality little or no weight is even resting on the tree stump. The jeep is litterally teetering on two (think Dukes of Hazzard driving on two). In this case, the front and back both are equally weighted, and no flexing is to be expected. Crusty is also correct in that a lighter arched spring (SOA) will flex better than a heavier arched spring (SUA). But in the pic you posted of Jon, it's just not the case - in my lowly opinion.... T
