    Those are probably the correct springs. Take a look at this post from the first page of this thread that has more information on the Icon parts. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/compiled-80-series-suspension-component-spec-thread-shocks-coils-more.1026595/post-11348364

    I'd be looking for a medium rate tapered dual rate coil spring. The tapered coils will stay captured when fully extended and won't fall out. The medium rate options are probably limited to Dobinson or Icon in the current market. The Icon coils are best suited for lighter rigs so it could be a...

    Another Slinky spec shock should be available soon and sold by Mill Creek Overland along with the rest of the Slinky stuff. I had been working on getting a set of these through some back channels for a few months and they arrived this past week. Moving forward Mill Creek will be the ones...

    Making the rear cone bumps work up front could be a bit of improvement for sure, but the design of the bump itself is still fairly stiff. So far I've been really impressed with the Timbren bumps I'm using. They are closer to 2" of crush and from what I can tell are more "progressive" than the...

    I'd recommend something longer with that size of lift if you don't want to limit travel with the shocks. What you use is up to you. I have the Stage4 Slinky shocks for the 3" Slinky lift and these are the measurements. These shocks are not limiting travel on my truck. Front AC56511...

    You'd actually be leaving a couple inches of droop unused with that combo. The L shocks will max out extension before the coil and limit travel. I have found this to be the case with the L shocks with almost any 3" coil.

    Hmm those darker green ones don't look like Dobs to me. They could be. Could they have been painted?

    Are you saying I'm making up the numbers? or that it's just taller than you would expect? That's what my truck measured at. This was unloaded measurements. No RTT, no tools, no other gear inside the truck. Just armor, winch etc. that's always on the truck.

    FWIW, here is my hub-center to fender measurements on my 80 with 75mm HD slinky kit. Of course, overall vehicle weight etc will play a factor in final ride height, but my measurements are about the same as what you're hearing from the ones you've talked to with 50mm kits. My theoretical...

    This is all I've seen regarding the 50mm Intermediate coils. This is "copy/paste" from the 4xOverlandUSA site. No actual specs but better than nothing. I'll see if I can get some free height measurements. I know EHO is in between shipments at the moment so might have to wait until the next...

    Best solution is to do tuning specific to the truck once they are installed since every truck is a bit different. Sure that's not always possible and not everyone has nitrogen to charge the shocks. this is the setup I'm drooling over. Stage6 Slinky with coilovers/bypasses.

    I hear ya, but it's pertinent info and I haven't seen any arguing. The information isn't available from all companies and people viewing this thread will want to know it or know why they can't find it. It may seem silly for a company to not be willing to give the specs, but apparently they...

    Sure I want to know. That doesn't mean companies will always be willing to provide the details. I can understand why they want to keep some information to themselves in a competitive part of the market. If I can't get the details, I'm still going to make the best choice I can with the...

    So talk more about how the internal "bump zone" works on Icon shocks.

    The OME equipped truck I referenced wasn't mine. I believe it was setup with 3" bumps because a 1" extension had been recommended for the J springs used. The truck also had 2" coil spacers so the extra 2" of bump were intended to address that. Again, wasn't my setup, just one I experienced...

    I've been really pleased with the balance of the Slinky kits. They might be set up for a bit more droop than compression compared to some other dual rate coils but still have fairly equal travel front/rear. Truck stays very flat and the axles move as they should. Oh, and I run both swaybars...

    Good info. I agree with avoiding adding more bump limitation if possible. I always try to run as small a bumpstop as possible and it seems to behave the best. One of my worst experiences was with an 80 with OME springs and 3" bump extensions. That truck would flex and then pitch the truck...
