You were the inspiration on the wheels and tires. And one of the reasons I’m leaning TT for my ‘78!

4inch under the 75...these springs have right around 100,000 miles on them.
Stock length on the 61....playing around with removing leafs from the packs, no hard top on it....has not been driven yet.

Finally ordered my lift kit. Decided on the Terrain Tamers! I'm hoping to receive it by next week, so I can get it installed before the 25th of June (I'll be out of commission for a few weeks with medical procedures).
Question for you all: would you recommend putting a coat of rust inhibitor on the springs before install? I've got POR-15 and a can of marine grade heavy duty corrosion inhibitor by CRC. The latter is a tacky film that coats like resin. I think it stays tacky so I'd be concerned with it attracting debris. TIA!

I would ask the people that sold you the springs.
I removed the bottom helper spring from the rear pack as I’m topless as well, a noticeable improvement

Start hitting everything with penetrating oil! Also useful was an induction heating coil.
As for coating the springs, ask Georg. He’s been quick to respond to me as during my install.

Great call on the penetrating oil! I'm sure many nuts and bolts are going to give me fits! I sent off a message to TT and so I'll hear back soon.
