Sasquatch's (aka "Sassy") Tinker and Adventure Tread (9 Viewers)

Springs installed! Overall very happy with it, may be a touch high but gonna give it some time to settle in and can always turn the T bars a couple. Rotated tires while I was at it.

Looks perfect. Expect a little settling but probably not more than 1/4-1/2" on normal driving weight.

How do the coils feel? I’ve got a dissent rear bumper, tire swing out with a 35in tire, TJM front bumper, and full skids. Probably gonna pull the trigger on the C59-185’s but I’m slightly worried it’ll be stiff. I also plan to run Dobinson’s IMS shocks, which I’ve heard are great.

Did the coils settle? Got any more pics? The info online says that the 185s are a 1.5” lift at 440lbs constant, but I’m probably around 200lbs until I load it up with my camping gear and dogs, at which point I’ll be closer to 400lbs.

I still think I made the right call. They settled a bit and the ride height is perfect. Ride quality is so subjective, but I think it’s fine. No harsher than the IronMan springs they replaced. It may be a little too much spring rate for you since I have drawers and an additional swing out on mine. Did you ask the Exit Offroad guy? He was helpful for me deciding.

I think it looks perfect. But you could always simulate a full camping load-out with weight in the back and see what happens. It will settle a bit as well.

I'm just about to swap rear springs from unknown OME (guessing 865's) with used 863 heavies. Hoping to gain about an inch but will be assessing with an extra couple hundred pounds in the back to simulate a fuller load. That's where I DON'T want any droop compared to the front.

Loving this build! Very clean and also very functional!

Thanks! Function is the name of the game.

Thanks! I’ve had it pretty loaded since the swap with very little sag. I have airbags too for the really big loads, but gotta repair/replace one of the bladders that has a slight leak.
