Coilover with a 2nd bypass shock? - Trying make a pig fly?

It flies pretty well too!

Has bypasses and coil overs all round.

Front housing is a 75 with new bolt in ring laser cut and welded in to run GU diff centre with GU locker and cruiser side gears for axle splines and its actually a 4 link front.

Still wondering, does anyone have a decent 'stock' measurement for the 80-series?

Sadly I am not working with a complete car, but for me something like the distance from the front bump pad inside the coil to the steel lip on the bump-stop cup would be very helpful. In the rear I think a measurement from the top of the axle tube to the hard rubber bumpstop on the frame would work.

I'd honestly like to know how different combinations measured also.

I'll measure mine when I get home from work today it's a 91 with almost 300k miles on the ticker...

My current shock specs are 12" travel , 17"collapsed / 29.50"extended, I'm thinking they may be too long for the 75mm Slinkies?

No we can go to about 31" extended from memory.

You will need to do a conversion from these numbers on an 80 to work out bump stop heights or to chassis rails, but std spec was

720mm from bottom edge of rim where it meets tyre on 16s up to fender/flare lip.

It was 760mm rear with 16s.

All IFS Toyotas 03 on are very similar but 730mm on 17s front and 775mm rear here.

Hope that helps.

If someone had a stock truck, and could convert it, that could be awesome.

I believe it's 228 mm per in which roughly comes to 720=31.57" front and 760=33.33" rear... I ended up going out for my birthday last night and never made it into the shop to measure my stock height, my 80 is on 15's so you will have to adjust accordingly when I can post my numbers tonight...

Will be there next week, will work it out, or maybe come past if your on the way we are heading from CO to Cruise Moab.

1" = 25.4mm for the record!
 
My mistake, I was converting lbs to kg I believe lol :flush:
so 720 mm~28.35" and 760~29.92".

Damn imperial measurement system, why couldn't the metric system be used in the United States like the rest of the world...

Bite your tongue!

But thank you for the help.

But really it's so much more simple... Especially from a fabrication standpoint, I inspect and repair railcars and it blows me away how many kids these days can't read a tape measure, I had to get dummy tapes for half of my repair crew... Just saying it's More simple and almost dummy proof, almost...

Meh. I am a mechanical engineer that does global work. I find the metric system a headache....
 
Maybe I'm just slow but I have skimmed thru this thread and the other recent 16 page shock/spring thread and I would like to get in on the limited group buy but still have a couple questions?

Will the slinky 50mm coils be available in the heavy/touring version or will the standard version support extra weight over stock? I'm only planning on running skinny 33's so I don't really want more than 2" lift but I do plan on adding some weight. Slee front bumper with winch, 4x4labs rear bumper/tire carrier, sliders, rtt, arb fridge, 2 passengers, 3 60lb dogs, + roughly an additional 300lbs of gear. Also will some Icon's be available that won't require extending the bump stops @ only 50mm of lift?

Not the rest of the word. I think that two other superpowers still use imperial measurement; Myanmar and Liberia.

Metric is better, it's all in 10s rather than 12s.
I bought a steel yard stick that's has both on it.
Amerca should of converted over years ago.

Is there a left & right coil?
Do I need to order a 75mm & a 70mm coil?
Taller for driver, gas tank etc...
Does SNOWY lean?
