You’ll get a lot more out of it by removing the rear and leaving it out for good. It will articulate better than removing the front. Put quick disconnects on the front and hot rod at will. You won’t notice much difference in handling. Disconnecting the front as well will take it to a different level for rock crawling, as you said way safer and more capable. Hook the front back up for fast stuff and it does handle better but once you get used to the bit of body roll without any of them it does fine. Body leans, all four tires stay on the ground.
Where I ride it's very rocky. I like the front unhooked most definitely a better ride. With independent suspension on the front. I always have left the back hooked up just feels like it's better on off-camber situations. I think it's really a matter of the trails you are mostly on.
Cool video. I think the tire is always going go come off the ground when you run out of suspension on an off camber hill. The one front tire can't go far enough down to get the other tire out of the air and on the ground.
Ok. To do a Fare comparison…take the rear sway bar off just to see how it is and tighten the preload. I have not run a sway bar on my machines ever here in Colorado
I've been running 27" maxxis zillia's at 5.5 lbs n they dig n bite n climb surprisingly well on wet muddy trails on moderate to steep hills on my 2018 Yamaha Viking
