did you go with the 6" shocks?
part numbers...
GS59-684
GS59-685
currently looking to buy the same spring set up. what did you do for your caster? mike had said they were out of the adjustable bushings. with those numbers you have... seems like we need at least 3 if not 4degree caster (bushing/plates)


and did you have to order the adjustable pan hards?. appreciate the feedback

To stay close to stock caster specs, you need approx 1.7 degrees caster correction for every inch of lift.

I didn’t get the 6” shocks. This isn’t being built as rock crawler. I haven’t installed the caster bushing or the adjustable panhard bars yet. They are laying on my workbench, as I want to get the bumpers, winch, etc installed first and let the springs settle.

Anyone know off the top of there head what the Slee Caster Plates are ?? Degrees wise…

Contact @landtank for some quality castor plates offered for a few different lift heights.

Any updates ?

Been a while since I have updated. Finally got the majority of the Slee bumper and tire carrier installed. Still working on the small stuff. Front should arrive in the next week or two.

Rear install is complete. Front bumper will be here in a week and the winch was purchased on Friday.

Hub to fender measurements would be appreciated once all the new additions are bolted on.

I plan on doing that for you guys. It is sitting lower in the rear since the bumper and tire carrier were added.

Got the front and rear bumpers installed. Slee rear with 33” tire on a LC OEM wheel and a 48” hi-lift; front has a Dobinson deluxe front winch bumper with stainless loop and a M8000.

Front is at 23.75” rear is 23.5” (center of hubcap to bottom of fender flair). Both are approximate.

Didn’t know Dobinsons did front bumpers… looks Great !

Any updates on the suspension since install? Curious how it’s settled and how you are liking it so far.

Any updates? I'm thinking about getting these exact springs. Very similar overall setup to yours. I have a front ARB and 4x4Labs Rear with tire carrier. I'm running OME springs now. Thinking these springs might smooth the ride out some.

 

[RaleighCJ]

I like the ride. Not near as soft as the stock springs,but it’s harsh either. Heading to the beach soon (2 hour drive there fully loaded with what 4 adults and their beach needs for 4 days). Will let you guys know how she rode and remeasure again when I get back.

 

[Sharky1528]

Looking forward to your update !

Height update: front is still sitting at 23.75” And rear is still at 23.5”

 

[ccslider]

Front for mine is 25 .5 and rear is 24 3/8

I have 30 mm spacers up front
