Hi All,
It's getting to be time to choose what springs I'll be using. On my past 40's I've been very happy with the Skyjacker 4 inch Softride setup and that was the plan for my current rig too but with Terrain Tamer in the mix now, I'm not so sure. Everything I've read about the parabolics (and I've read everything I could find here and other places) sounds great as far as ride quality goes but the lift is only about 2 inches. If I use them I'll need to go with a 1 inch body lift to achieve the desired result. My transmission and T-case are with Georg at Valley Hybrids right now, so that would be a no brainer. The rig will have 33's to start and maybe 35's later. Hard top on or off seasonally. It will be a daily driver with a lot of highway miles going between L.A. and Spokane several times a year, often pulling a trailer with a motorcycle or two on it. It will be wheeled from time to time but I'm not a rock crawler. Drivetrain will be SBC/NV4500/Orion with 3.70's. Selfishly, I've been waiting for a few other people to jump on the Terrain Tamer springs before I do but my build has to be done and on the road in 10 months, so waiting much longer isn't an option. What say you?
