Installed 850J/863 L shocks (1 Viewer)

[FFGarcia]

I finally got around to installing my 850J/863 coils and L shocks. I am a little disappointed with the stance. I thought it would be more level than it is. I am running 295/75/16 TOYO AT 2 extremes. I have not installed my caster plates from metaltech yet. I will post pictures when I get a chance.

I have the same setup on 37's and had to install a 25mm spacer in the front to level things out. I'm running about 200lbs of bumper and winch on the front and somewhere in the neighborhood of 260lbs of bumper and spare tire out back. After a year and about 15000 miles (yup, @ ~10mpg's), it has settled to an almost exact level stance. I am running the caster plates as well and honestly, I think I may have a bit too much caster as the return to center feel is a little more aggressive than I would like. It's definitely livable though and it's better than not having enough.

I ran this setup before and had a stink bug stance. Once you install the spacers things should get better. I just aquired a new 80 and now I'm looking to lifting it with 850J/863.. This time i have a bit more weight up front, i've got a ARB bullbar and hope to installl i winch before lifting it...

Did you end up putting spacers in or is this all spring? Nice looking rig!

I have the same coils as you and run 1.25" spacers up front to level it out.

Just springs for now. I installed caster plates and drives great now. I still have to put in the brake line extension.

^^^^this is what i was thinking.

How long has it been installed? give it some time and mileage to settle before jumping to another variable. Truck looks great !

It's only been on a couple months. I have spoke to others about the springs settling. It already has a little bit. It still has a little "stink bug" but nothing like a couple of other 80 riding around in my area. Thanks for the complements.
