Long Travel BS Thread

I wonder how much my truck weights

 

I don't use mine like I was going to. I want a truck that can haul out my dirtbike and towards my trailer without worrying about shit

 

How is your front kit? Is it a dirt kings kit?

Alright so I'm curious what spring rate everyone is running on your 8 inch coilovers? The coilovers that I bought used came off of a first gen, and I'm pretty sure the springs on them are too light. When I first put the coilovers on and had them set with little-to-no preload just enough to hold the spring. The truck Road great but it sat extremely low. So I had to crank them up to get the normal ride height. And now they ride too stiff. I'm 4wd so preferably people without lift spindles chime in please.

How it sat at first. My concern with the ride height this low is dragging every damn rock in the desert with my skid plate


How it's sitting now.

 

You

You should be running 3.0x16x600lb coils

 

I'm running 700lb springs on mine. But my truck is hefty.

 

Yea the kit is amazing and beefy as fuck. handles like a dreams just needs some fine tuning on the shocks

 

Looks like it's running at right height so you should have 600 or 650 if you have some weight

 

600lbs is the correct spring rate for lt second gens with moderate to no extra weight on the front end

 

I'm gunna run out to my truck I think I have 650 and I feel it's too soft but can't remember after last time I looked

 

The kings I just ordered are 600#. I have glass fenders and a prerunner bumper so I think that would be a good number for ya.

Maybe he had it backwards..

 

For 4wd correct ?

 

Yes correct.

 

I'm running a 2.5" x 16"x 600 on mine

 

Ok perfect, thank you for the help.

 

Haha you remember that? that shit was fucked up. stupid direction I think I read them upside down

 

Not you. I meant the dude who welded sliders on backwards.

 

Haha that would suck pretty bad

 

Shit I have 3x16 700lns on my first gen.

Want to swap to 3x18 600lb next.
