yes or no ???

 

The DSM would need spacers, its not the one specific for our lift. That other price is good as well. DSM is in SD, I would call them with the 58631 model number and add 700# springs.
What size leaf pack are you on?

 

Sorry buddy but you can't revalve PC CO's they are a sealed unserviceable cartridge and PC charges around $600 to replace the cartridges and offer no valving services. I hated my PC CO's because they were too stiff with the PC coils ( 700lb ? ) but the guy I sold them too put 600lb Eibach coils on them and he loves them...

I spent about $250 for the coils and $250 for new hoses, fittings and labor. I'm not sure what size coil you need for a PC CO ? Just pull it off or loosen any pre load and measure it. I would not recommend 700lb coils, although it is nice not having any body roll w/o a sway bar they are very very stiff even with a bumper and winch. I got some bad advice and was told to go to 700 because of weight and length of coil but for OE King states that unless you have 200lbs + added there is no need to go stiffer.

I had 14" 600's with my bumper and winch and it rode like a Cadillac but just had too much body roll. I may sell these 700's and get 650's...going to let them break in for a couple of weeks and see if they soften up a bit. The only reason I went with 18's was so the adjustable ring ended up in a more accessible spot so I can adjust them on the truck. The ring was blocked by my UCA previously when jacked up.

I have 14" King 600lb coils for sale if anyone needs them.

 

I am on all pro expo pack.

 

I would highly suggest keeping your 650's when you get your bumper and just add a turn or two of pre load. Try it before spending any more monies on springs. The 700's feel stiff as foooook and my skids are going to be aluminum so the weight will be inconsequential IE: no more than a passenger in the truck.

 

thank you sir for the info.

 

6" or with blocks?

I'm not planning to change my rates anytime soon. I don't have that weight... I don't want anymore preload, I've done so much to eliminate it and get that 60/40 spit for droop/bump.

I don't mind the roll at all, and when I'm at 12psi it is a Cadillac!! MWOAP goes hard in the rocks so I'm more worried he would have to preload to fit 35s or trim like I'm going to. Remember, I went lower to remove preload and a 5" leaf pack.

 

no blocks just the leaf.

 

If you go with the prebuilt ICON I think you will need to preload alittle bit but the difference over the procrap is worth it. You could go custom like EFlow, but that would take more monies. I didn't give a shit that I lost 1" if that of ground clearance at the DB cause I knew I would make it up with tires.

You know I don't just mawl crawl and I love these Icons. I did however just loose a seal in the 2.0 rear, so a rebuild is in my near future.

 

Billies upfront with Eibach springs is good if money is an issue

Spent $500 on shocks and springs

 

But you have spacers already. Going backwards to spacers wouldn't be good for him and how he uses his truck.

 

thinking of just takin in the sac and getting icons. i see no point of wasting money on the pro craps like you said.

 

Its not a case of taking a hit, sell the PCs off for a few hundo to a stage 1 prerunner guy like I did. They will love it cause mall crawler.

you will thank me afer you get them dialed in.

 

There are billies that are tall enough to work without spacers there are a few guys running them. It is not listed as a toyota application but works perfectly you just have to use a top hat adapter like the one the PC's come with. A guy in my neighborhood did a budget build and used 14" billies with a $50 universal hoop kit in the rear and Billie co's up front with some springs he found on craigslist ...all under $1k.

 

LOL.

 

Adding just a turn or two of preload when you add a bumper and a winch will not disturb your 60/40 issue on the contrary it will maintain it. IE a turn or two of pre load will level the truck with the additional weight and ride better than 700 lb springs.

 

This is years out

Unless I win the lotto...

 

Jon, I have bumpers front 100 lbs and rear 100lbs, winch 50 lbs, 35" spare 100lbs, camper shell and roof rack 300 lbs, so I am a solid 600lbs more than your rig. Trust me buddy the body roll I had with 600 lb springs was ridiculous. I don't rock crawl, I do higher speeds for hours on dirt roads, cobbles, dunes and beaches etc in Baja, body roll plus bumpy dirt roads = wear a diaper.

 

Just by curiosity do you know how much your truck weights?


last time i check for mine it was about 5300 lbs
