Which lift would have a better RTI score Teraflex BB or Frankenlift?

The frankenlift. The budget lift doesn't give you any more wheel travel like the frankie does.

it really does not matter
with IFS you are so limited that it is better to ignore the RTI numbers and really suspension travel all together and just lock it this is what the CJ guys do and it works for them

My RTI Score was 529 at BMJA's open house 2007 with the 4" lift I had no front disconnects.
My RTI Score Aug. 20th at OK4WD&Autos Open House this year with the 6" lift and front sway bar disconnected was 641.
I'm going to check it again after I put on the Tereflex extended bump stops this week to see if they limit it any?

That or I just climbed higher for some reason, better approach or something anyway they didn't detract so I'm happy about that!

661 is not bad for IFS
I ramp in the 960 range with my TJ and when I cough up the money for proper shocks I will break the 1000 magic number
I have shocks for a 2" lift running 3"+

That's definitely the most I've ever seen an IFS Liberty flex up front, I'm impressed.

I was thinking the same thing :lol:. I'd also like to have a go at one, I posted up on AJOR to see if anyone is hosting a ramp day in the near future.

20 is the most common but there are some at 30. That is the only other degree I know of. Not sure why 20 isn't standard across the board. :?

cause you'd need it 30' long for buggies etc.
30 degree will test things with a lot of flex quicker.
I've also seen 25 degree ramps.
you can make it any angle you want. Just a way to flex.
Also since parking lots aren't always flat, etc etc they don't mean much.
Plus if you're really creative you can do weird airing of tires to game some.

yep air down the tires going up the ramp, add extra to those two staying on the ground, that alone will gain quite a few points up the scale, all kinds of tricks to gain more than your buddy :twisted:
