Here to introduce the Alldogs Offroad LC250 Lift Springs (6 Viewers)

Not condescending as without the OEM spring rates they are just a number. But if other aftermarket suppliers publish their spring rates it could offer some comparison.

@AlldogsOffroad I see that the front springs are described as 1.5” lift and rears are a “medium” spring. So does that mean the front will get 1.5” with no extra weight and the rear gets 1.5” with some extra “medium” weight.

It would be great to know what the additional target weight is for light, medium, and heavy are. I’d assume light = stock. And if the fronts have any extra rate built in for bumper/winch.

Thanks

They are selling springs. Asking for a spring rate seems more than fair. And a response that "I think i need to know it" is condescending.

A spring rate is a pretty simple thing to understand (it's not just a number) so I'm sure someone interested can find out what the factory spring rate is and do some math based on your vehicle weight. "Medium" doesn't mean much to me. Potential buyers should be a little picky about getting clear info from people trying to sell stuff, particularly when they seem reluctant or unable to answer the most basic questions.

I agree spring rate is not that hard of a concept to understand. But I’m yet to find a source that defines the spring rate of a factory coil. So knowing the rate of an aftermarket coil does not necessarily help when comparing the two. I’m not weighing all four corners of my truck and calculating what I need like a race car/truck. Plus our trucks see varied payloads verse a race weight that other than fuel is pretty constant.

I understand that the after aftermarket suppliers may not want to publish the spring rate as they took some effort in R&D to develop a product hopefully under the belief it’s better than their competitors. I just want to know “this spring was designed to offer X amount of lift with OEM + X amount of extra payload”. That is what the average consumer needs to know and is supplied by every other supplier of springs I’ve looked at.

I really like what I’m seeing here with this product offering and just want a little more info. I want a firm spring that can handle more weight without much lift. I carry payloads up to gross rating often as well as tow regularly. I’d like a little more up-travel but not enough to force things like new UCA’s. I’d like to add a center type bumper and winch up front.

right now we do not offer a light spring. most of the time our "light" coils in the front would be for someone looking for almost stock height. we will eventually offer a heavy rate front and rear but right now we started with our mediums. medium fronts are good for around +100 lbs. the rears being dual rate, we haven't tested to see just how much weight it will take to make them lose at least 1.5" of height.

Thank you for the front. +100 lbs is good. Let us know on the rear.
