Have a look at my C510 front end build.
Apart from that bloody great build

on this truck i don't want a lot of flex. the beam in the center lets it have some movement with out bottoming out. the boom set up on top adds alot of weight. i run this set up on two of my own trucks and there is more movement then you would think. as a comparison this is more "flex" then the big rig rear suspension.
