Man, don't stop now. This is beyond a doubt the best suspension thread on here.Does any of the information above have or give any value to the 80 series community or am I the only obsessed suspension freak on ih8mud trying to figure this all out on my own?
Or is this all old news & everyone has moved on because I've been stuck in the suspension phase of my build for the last 4 years.
I'm tired myself of being stuck here, but I want to know for sure, for sure, for sure that I have the best ride & handling 80 series I can have.
The thought of rather then a 3" or 4" suspension is a 2" suspension lift is closer to the stock geometry therefore better high speed maneuvering, turning while under hard braking & just a better more predictable feel on the road.
At this time I'm still holding onto the 1" body lift & a 2" suspension idea.
Currently waiting on a pair of 50mm front "RED" coils coming from AUS...

They Slinky coils gave 3" of lift.What was the problem with the slinky coils you ran before? TT winds coil springs now? I do like red better than whatever that color is in my springs.
So your answer is that 3” lift is a problem?They Slinky coils gave 3" of lift.
Trail Tailor's brand of coils are called TourFlex designed by Tough Dog & manufactured by King.
King makes the Tough Dog & the TourFlex coils.
I didn't like the red but it has grown on me.
The TourFlex brand has been more popular with the 100 & 200 series folks. He said " I have over 300 satisfied 100 & 200 TourFlex customers" & he just ordered another 140 sets from AUS.
YESSo your answer is that 3” lift is a problem?
Ther red 50mm custom coils Jasen @ Trail Tailor made for me ended up 25mm coils. I added my 25mm coil spacers, so all is well.
They are great on & off road. I am very pleased with them, they are a bit softer then my Slinky's which is what I wanted.
There is one other set available if any one is interested.
I paid full price.I might be interested in those - any idea on price?
Do you still rock those drop brackets?
You dont see them hanging down there in the pics?Do you still rock those drop brackets?
