    Airbag Suspension Questions

    I posted a reply on another thread that I believe explains why the bag is shorted than the coil, given the similarities the threads I'll put a link here as well and not repeat it.

    Air lift / air helper rear coil airbag part # advice

    Well it turns out I was wrong in my thinking, and it's ok if the bag is not the full length of the coil. The excerpt below is from the installation instructions for the Air Lift brand universal fit kits. I had always thought the bags functioned by stiffening the springs via bulging between the...

    Airbag Suspension Questions

    Which longer version? The link from hoser above is only a general link for the new wireless version as far as I can tell. I may be / probably am missing something. I found the universal kit 60925 on the airlift website that I was pondering, but if anything it looks like the bag may be even...

    Airbag Suspension Questions

    Good to hear they stand by the warranty. Given you've gotten 8 years out of them and are replacing with the same set, is it safe to assume they have been doing what then need to prevent sag even though they have a big gap over the bag? Sounds like a similar setup to me except I only have 15mm...

    Air lift / air helper rear coil airbag part # advice

    Good to know. I contacted Firestone but so far only crickets from them. I'll try airlift instead.

    Air lift / air helper rear coil airbag part # advice

    Thanks, I saw that thread but before the 3:34pm post with some useful info. I didn't want to hijack that thread since the OP was about RTT leveling. I'm a bit surprised the bag they recommend is short even with stock suspension. Makes me wonder about using the kit based off the measurements...

    Air lift / air helper rear coil airbag part # advice

    I looked around a bit on the forum and I haven't been able to find the answer to my question. If there's another thread with the answer feel free to point me to it. I'm trying to figure out the best model number order for Air Lift or Firestone rear coil airbags. I have the Ironman 4x4 FCP "2...

    For those with torsion bar questions

    Hey @GVegasG, I think you're on the right track. I have the same setup except with the 440-880 springs, and when I first installed it the rear was really high, even more than you're seeing because I had no extra weight. Now it's sitting around 22" after a few hundred miles of driving and...

    Bumper and winch fitment question

    Sorry for the delay, I'm out of town this week (Moab actually, drooling on a lot of cruisers...). 100 series? I'm guessing so but since the last question was about an 80 I figured I'd check. I didn't have any issues, but I can take a look when I'm back home in a few days to see what kind of...

    Tips for Installing Lift?

    Agreed, the ratcheting box wrench helps a lot in that tight space. Some people cut a hole in the floor to access it from above, but with penetrating oil and the wrench it wasn't too much trouble. You'll need a strap wrench or something to hold the body of the shock so it doesn't twist. I just...

    Tips on installing rear quarter window weather seal

    Neither of mine had any sealant, that's interesting. Maybe that's why I had to dink with mine so much?

    Tips on installing rear quarter window weather seal

    Yes, that is the stuff I used. I replaced the weatherstrip/gasket on both drivers and passenger sides. As someone noted above, the FSM doesn't mention using adhesive, but there was adhesive from the factory on both sides when I removed the originals. I can't say what it was exactly, but it...

    Tips on installing rear quarter window weather seal

    I don't have the packaging anymore, but I looked it up again and found 62741-60091 for the right side rear quarter window seal. FYI, I finally seem to be leak-free under the seal. I installed the new one with some 3M weatherstrip sealant and had a small leak still. Took it out and cleaned all...

    Front Differential Bushing Replacement - the Easy way!

    I'll risk taking the heat and say if you're trying to save some $ and step through more methodically, I would suggest starting with the cushion (#2 on your list). From all the research I did many people thought that was the main culprit. When I did mine I replaced the stoppers just because you...

    SOLD 100 series stock UCAs (Seattle area or will ship)

    Hey @BIGG PAPA, sorry for the delay. I found the box my other UCAs came in that fit the stock ones just right. The weight is nearly 16 lb for both in the box. The post office website says it will be $60 for ground. Priority is $72 and it said it would get there a few days faster. The UPS website...

    Ok, will do.

    SOLD 100 series stock UCAs (Seattle area or will ship)

    Yes, almost threw them out last week but I decided to keep them a little longer. I can box them up and weigh them and figure out how much shipping would be if you like.

    Bumper and winch fitment question

    I didn't not need any additional wiring. The large power cables that come with it were long enough. I was a little worried the 'hot' cable that goes from the positive battery terminal to the relay would be too short to reach the other side of the engine bay, but it's plenty long. The only thing...

    Bumper and winch fitment question

    It would be superior in all water crossings except for ones in which the entire hood is submerged, which I won't be doing any time soon since I don't have a snorkel yet :) The electronics control box is not sealed on this winch. The contents will be flooded if the box goes under water, so the...

    Bumper and winch fitment question

    I know this thread is getting a little long in the teeth, but I found it when I was looking for ideas so I thought I'd share another option I went with. I likewise have the Ironman bumper with the HF 12k Badlands winch. I wanted to be able to reach the free spool handle through the access holes...
