I used two of the 4813160D60 coils. Everything went in as it should and performs as it should. With the 10mm spacer the truck has settled at 20 inches hub-to-fender. I did the math on the weight, and I arrived at 450ft/lbs for spring rate. I don’t believe that to be accurate. I believe it still...

I’ve never posted a photo directly to the thread, but I’m almost 5 years in Albuquerque in the same vinyl.

There is a rear crossmember for the tank that is notched to accommodate the exhaust hanger. I had a rub there with the exhaust hanger and it was a PITA to diagnose. If your squeak is intermittent and is more prevalent when you are facing uphill, that is a good place to look. That notch may show...

Is that the normal slee aux battery tray tucked next to your drawer setup or something a little more bespoke?

So here’s a little “clunk” journey I’ve had recently. A little while ago, I removed my BP51 coilovers, reduced the amount of preload effectively lowering the truck, and had the alignment done. Then an clunk started creeping in that was felt through the steering wheel. It was more pronounced...

Compressed height of the coil is 327mm. Current hub to fender measurement is 20.25" in the left hand side with the 10mm spacer Part Number 4313660020. I'll hit the scales tomorrow to make the calculations.

After my favorite “Costco to school pick-up to beer run”-loop, 4835060390 appear up to the task of supporting a Slee rear, oversized spare, Budbuilt fuel tank skid, ARB drawer w/ tools and recovery gear. For those of you not tracking the minutiae of my journey, I ran OME2721 w/ Kings and they...

To answer your questions: 1) If doing it again, I would do the rear mechanical bar again. It’s just my personal preference. 2) It’s not a kiss of death unless you do what I did and saw the hydraulic lines off the truck. If the lines are there and internally clean, then refitting the pistons...

They do appear linear. I went with front coils 4813160D60 with show application on VDJ platforms with electric winch mounted on part number 4851060150. Rear shock part number is 4835060390. All of the rear coil part numbers for trucks with sub-tanks and rear door spare carrier frames were sold...

😈

There’s no steering wheel I’d rather be behind.

I don’t know if I can make it work, but I am very interested.

The later model 200s have a different hoist that is shorter. You can replace the old part number with the new part number and not have to worry about finding a spare to suit. Probably costs less than having 285/65r18 mounted and nullifies most of the “what if” scenarios.

Which @PerryParts part number are you running?
