Most recently the load was 3 adults, 3 kids, 5 day cooler with food, large food bin, recovery tools and maxtrax, large yakima box with 2 pairs of skis and boots, 4 sleds, and snow gear. It was loaded enough to not see out the back window. It also absorbed bumps and speed tables like a dream...
I think you are asking a similar question to what I had 1 year ago, which Slinky springs to get with sliders, front and rear bumpers, and winch? Based on the advice from Darren (directly) and posts like the one above by Box Rocket on the forum I went with the HD springs. When the vehicle had...
Thank you clarifying that. I've been using the 80 series suspension thread that you've laboriously compiled as a reference and I misunderstood the paragraph in quotes below from post #5 of the suspension thread to mean only the rear coils could use the longer shocks. And thank you for creating...
Movement in the bucket after cutting the fronts was a concern of mine as well . But it is reassuring that Darren wrote that up to two coils can be removed. Sure it was said in 2016, but I imagine it still applies. I'm still waiting to see how the 7501 rears handle loaded on a trip. I've had some...
Oh, and I realize I posted the lift height incorrectly. My passenger side is higher than the driver side when the vehicle is empty. Should read like this:
Lt front 23.75"
Lt rear 23.25"
Rt front 24.25"
Rt rear 23.75"
Yes, post #6. Thank you! I had spent a few days going over all 36 pages here looking for the info that was on the first page. I really appreciate that. I wonder if 2⅝ thick coils that are dead and can be trimmed means 2 full coils?
AC 7498. Mill creek says the front springs with the 75mm lift are the same for both intermediate and HD lifts. Rear springs are different with intermediate, HD, and heavy duty.
Yes I went from HD rear to intermediate rear. The front coils are the same for both 3" lifts. The 70mm patrol coil is the change I can do to the front. But then I'd have to change my shocks, driveshaft, etc, so not that important to me to drop an inch or so. I want the travel of the 3" lift...
Question here on the 3" intermediate lift. But first since background. I just installed the rear 7501 coils. I have a 97 with 4x4 Labs bumpers and sliders, spare tire on driver side. Winch w/ synthetic rope in the front bumper. Some recovery gear in back but nothing that affects the lift height...

-Used for 2 months, ended up selling the 100 and getting an 80. On one of the spacers I damaged 3 of 12 the aluminum front hub guides when putting it on. It doesn't affect it as...
I'm with you on that. Such a joy to drive these rigs fast. I have an HD rear sway bar on the way and I'm wondering if I should just get the Land tank links or wait till LCP is back in business.
These look fantastic, I have a 3" Slinky lift and am ordering an HD rear swaybar. I see on LCP's website there is a 3½" lift or less option vs a lift greater than 3½" inches. The Slinky coils have my truck up at 4.5"unloaded, 3" if I'm carrying 5 linebackers and a few anvils in the back. Should...
Agreed, it's great to hear. I keep hearing that turbos are a nightmare and superchargers are the way to go for reliability on the trail etc, but I feel like so much care was put into the wits end turbo kit, that conventional trope doesn't exactly apply. How many miles have you added since...
They sit level. I would guess they are not compatible with AHC since on the BIOR website it has a specific note that they are available for AHC trucks, implying a difference. These were on an '05 land cruiser.
