Grips, I hope you get a coil stuck up somewhere dark :D

I think it has more to do with the fact that it was too posh... yes I'm the great pretender-bakkie.

Off topic.Only reason for posting is safety concern. This amount of flex can only be achieved with upper coil clamp removed and lengthened coil towers. One of the reasons for spitting out coils we see on many off-road videos. Nice for off-roading but serious compromise handling on road. Same effect as removing a shackle bolt on a leaf suspension.
