suspension swaps

[aznxfactor]

hello everyone. Wanted your input as this may be a weird question.

So Im finally going to pull the trigger on a suspension upgrade. Was narrowing it down to Tough Dog and Cell Foam Pro and im about the move on the cell foam pro. Maybe it's a stupid question but here is my delimma: I have an ARB Summit front bumper getting color matched painted to be installed. I also have white knuckle sliders as well. Question is:

1. Can I buy the TJM armor heavy coils and swap them out with the cell foam coils?
2. Is this the right move since Im going to add front bull bar and sliders? Eventually rear tire carrier?


The sliders are heavy. Way heavier than I expected. Since the ARB bull bar will be a net 120lb after cut and install. The sliders are 125 each i believe. Thinking that the TJM armor series are meant to support all that weight. Would that be a good idea? Adding all that weight will just bogger down the 2 inch lift. So would this allow the cruier to still maintain 2 inch lift overall with stronger coils. That's what Im thinking.

Will eventually add the ARB skids too.

or just swap out the front with the TJM?

Rely on you guys as you guy's knowledge has no propriety answer. haha.

Your best bet would be to get ahold of the dealers and discuss your axle weights to ensure you get the right products the first time. There is nothing wrong mix/match brands to get the right spring rate coils. Where you’ll run into problems is valving on the shocks not being tuned for the coil spring rates. This can lead to accelerated shock deterioration, and a poor handling truck. The guys at Cruiser Outfitters, Cruiser Brothers, Slee and Trail Tailor are all top notch with this kind of guidance. Give one of them a shout.
