Hi, needed some advice on recently installed ARB stock height suspension on my 1995 80 series . As expected the ride is firmer but i think there seems to be an issue with the front springs. The front springs seems to have not much of a gap within the coils and they seem compressed without much room to "spring". When i brake the vehicle doesn't lean forward ( You know when you suddenly brake ). The engine is a 1HDT and there's also a light bullbar that came with the vehicle originally.
Not sure if im correct or not but it seems i might need to replace the front springs with heaver ones?....or its just me and this is how things are supposed to be. The vehicle also seems to be sagging more on the front end vs the rear after i replaced the suspension.
This is what i installed:
1991-97 Toyota Land Cruiser /
LX450 - Old Man Emu Stock Height Replacement Kit
2 x OME 2861 Front Coil Springs
2 x OME 2862 Rear Coil Springs
2 x 60018 Nitrocharger Sport Shocks
2 x 60020 Nitrocharger Sport Shocks
1 x SD24 Steering Damper
Here's my problem I had 850 springs in front 2.5 lift and 863 rear 2.5 lift on my 95 cruiser with A springs installed on the US driver side, left driver side and B on the passenger.
The truck leans to left so I look online and the OME site states that in Australia the A goes to drivers side to compensate for driver weight because the springs for the driver side are supposed to be slightly higher but here is the dilemma the weight chart online shows the A spring is shorter and the B spring is taller so talk about confuse the hell out of a guy by this.
The A spring is suppose to be the taller as its the one they tell you to install the driver side and in the US to swap the these so A is on left driver side and B is on passenger so what the hell is up either the info on spring height is wrong or my springs were marked wrong from factory because after paying to have these installed with A on my driver side and B on passenger side. I now have to have springs swapped because the A really isn't taller and the B is actually taller like the height chart says but the install instructions are wrong. Confused as hell! Can somebody make sense of this for me.
Yes, thank you that was my conclusion after seeing the spring chart that showed me the B spring was taller. Thanks for the conformation. Appreciated very much.
The taller spring goes to the side that has the most weight with battery, gas tank, spare tire etc...
From my posts above: B is the tallest coil, A is the spring that provides the most lift. Right?
Why ARB did that, I have no idea. But I measured them on the bench, and the B coil was taller.
