One thing I really appreciate about the IFS on the 100 is the spring rate can be tuned, increased or decreased, with a few turns of a wrench.

Seeing as I don't plan on adding weight to front or back I'm thinking ill add new rear springs and see how that changes things.

I added used torsion bars from a non-AHC LC to my LX after I added the bumper and 90lb of winch antilevered off the front of the frame. I may have been able to torque the torsion bars far enough to level th pressures, but the bars were available...

Resurrecting this a bit. Was looking for info on 63 spring seats and shock geometry. This was helpful. For the question about stock ride height, for one of my 60s I took it down to a spring shop and they reached the springs and set it back to...

@Nightbrew, not sure I completely understand the open channel question. The extrusions are open on the ends. I used Square nuts inside the channels to thread the bolts. The nuts bite into the inside edges of the channel and all you to torque...

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. This is a life update more than anything else. I worked from home for 16 months or so during the pandemic and really enjoyed it. My employer called everyone back into the office in April. I reluctantly...
