confused about rear coil springs

[bhicks]

I already have the 30mm spacers so I'm sorta stuck with those. Your the 3rd person that has mentioned the shock extension brackets but I can't find those anywhere. Is there a vendor that sells them. One member mentioned getting them in Japan at Japan4x4. I can't navigate their website since i don't speak Japanese.

Still looking for the shock extention brackets that keep getting mentioned. Anyone know who makes them? Vendor? Link?

I got ahold of dave. He's going to look into the cost and getting them shipped to the US. I should have some answers by tomorrow.

I think at this I will stick with the stock AHC rear spring with 30mm spacers and and AHC adjustment. I have two sets of rear 80 springs to toss in later if I feel like a need a firmer ride or slightly taller. Also might get my hands on a set of rear NON AHC 100 springs. I have plenty of options out back at this point. Right now I am focussed on the front torsion bars. I plan to crank them up about 1.5-2" and I'm really worried that the smaller/weaker AHC torsion bars wont be up to the task of keeping the front end up WITH the BenC bumper and winch. I think the standard non AHC torsion bars will be the perfect set up to crank on. Anyone in Socal have a set left over from their OME lift install? I found a few across the country but nothing local and shipping prices for $35lb metal bars sucks.

So Dave and I finally got the AHC shock spacers figured out and I got them ordered. It was about $150 total to my front door. A little more than I wanted to spend but also not so high that I felt led to fab my own. They are 60mm spacers for the front and 40mm for the rear. With the 30mm coil spring spacers I picked up for the rear, the AHC should not be overworked at all. I would like to get about 1.5" of lift out back which should be right at the 40mm mark. I will then adjust the rear AHC sensor which should allow me to drive around at the "H" height but be in the "N" setting and still have the same suspension feel as the N setting. I THINK I will still be able to go up to "H" and down to "N" with this set up. that would put the new L at the current N height. That would also put the new H almost 4" higher. That will be way sketchy and probably never used in that setting, at least not while the vehicle is moving. Maybe for lifting a trailer up and down or just to get momentary clearance of an obstacle on the trail. If my thought process is WAY off on what I am about to attempt then please step in a clue me in. for the front I plan to keep the smaller AHC torsion bars and just crank them up using the techstream I picked up to get them back in spec. If I can't get them into spec then I will switch over to the NON AHC torsion bars. That will probably happen when the winch gets put into the new BenC bumper.
