PS - I do understand how the myths got started...just like any mod, people do lifts, get axle wrap or driveline vibes, death wobble or what ever...typically not because a lift causes that per se, but because their shocks were not properly valved, or their pinion angles were too severe to handle it, etc....essentially they did not do all the things needed to compensate for the lift.
They then claim the lift caused the death wobble or the axle wrap, and angrily take it back off....instead of fixing the underlying deficiency such as the shocks, etc.
So - that's how these things get started...its human nature.
The important thing is to keep an open mind, as Porshe did.
He considered the situation, came up with a reasonable experiment to prove/disprove his hypothesis...he was open minded about it.
When it becomes about being right or wrong, and not about establishing the facts/finding the truth...nothing is accomplished.
Its the difference between a discussion, and a pissing match.
Porche did not lose a pissing match, he was discussing the situation....as he suggested the experiment, and it was his video solution that proved the facts.
Porshe solved the question with the video concept...and thankfully, allowed the "No Weight on the Drooped Tire" Revolver Myth to Die.
