Compiled 80 series suspension component spec thread... shocks, coils & more.

Hi everyone, has anyone ever tried "King Spring" coil?
I've heard a lot of good things about them and I'd like to pair them with OME 60070/60071 shock absorbers.

they are a decent mid range spring. There are better options, but they're good value. Haven't used them on a Landcruiser, but have had them in some of my other cars.. admittedly, I always ended up upgrading to something else... but take that with a grain of salt, something I may not be 100% happy with, may be something you find great.

do you think ome springs are better?

Does anyone have any reviews of the ironman IM 2.5 shocks?

yes

One question: if I only wanted 50mm of lift, could I use the OME 60070/60071, or is it better to get the long version anyway (60070L/60071L)?

If you use longer shocks, you have to use coils that will stay captured in their coil seats at full droop. The L shocks are meant for more lift with longer coils, so for 2" of lift, it's not suggested.

For everyones reference I found the OEM coil spring rates, front coils are 162 lb/in, rear coils are 145 lbf/in.
