863 info

[ad27326]

My high clearance BIOR is on the way with dual swing, usually run no 3rd row, tow boat regularly during summer, load it up for camping as well with trailer and rtt. I want to stay as close to current stock height in the rear, I have 863's, is this doable?

Bueller?

Hard to clearly understand your question...

If you are asking if the heavy, taller 863's will work on your rig, as to not sag as much in the rear when loaded up, towing etc...then the answer is yes. They are stiff when unloaded but nice when loaded, some love it, some hate it

Concerning stock shocks, I wouldn't use them personally. If I recall correctly the tall springs, 863, will be suited for a longer travel shock than stock. They might be om with 863's and stock shocks but I believe you will limit the amount of travel by doing so.

My rig is a pig, I have an OME 2.5" lift kit with OME Nitrocharger sport shocks F/R w/ a 30mm spacer in the rears, 863 springs. works very well together....tho I'd like to go to 864's, taller spring

I agree, I wasn't very clear! I would like to keep near stock height at the rear with my BIOR rear bumper, sliders and front bumper. Is this possible with the 863's? Thanks

863s and spacers worked great for me with rear bumper and single swing, heavy drawer system and 63qt fridge and 100# dog.

Add 400 or so pounds of tongue weight with our trailer and I needed to upgrade to the 864s. They are stiff without the trailer so I'd try the 863s first. I considered adding airbags but the 100 gets wheeled pretty hard while the trailer is back at camp and there are some considerations with airbags that led me to believe the 864s were the better choice for our application.

Yup. I may try bags before I toss in the stiffer springs.

Your truck will not be stock height with 863s and a rear bumper with swingouts and tire carrier. It will be taller than stock. It will sag with the trailer. I think that's what you were asking?

Is there a rear coil that will handle the weight without lifting the rear?
