Fox 2.5 Coilover Pre-Load Questions

This is actually recycling nonsense as all u said is u spoke to someone and they said u could do it. Haha but u have no name, no facts why it works, and nothing to back it up besides 28000 posts. More time on here than working on the truck.

 

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......same recycled info base on interweb experience

 

Dude ur a joke. U still can't back it up so u keep going with spam. I'm done here as this loser if filling up this forum with junk and gay pics.
Until u come up with something to help these people out u should really stop commenting on every damn post on the forum. It's people like u that ruin it for people trying to learn. U have had nothing but forum troll things to say

 

Same goes to you buddy... no facts, no names, proven hands on experience. People like you are the one who give false info are what is ruining this forum...

 

still haven't heard a single bit of knowledge outa u keyboard warrior. U have shown this forum enough trash. Everyone else sees it. Cause that's like the 10th post out of u with nothing constructive.
U still haven't explained or helped anyone here with why ur longer springs work.
Please share

 

And we got another one to add to the trash.

 

I have helped many people on and offline. Less posting and more reading on your part will contribute to TW greatness.

 

So the answer to ur longer springs issssss

 

Thought you were done here?

 

Not at all defending that other dude, but longer springs or stiffer springs will have the same effect on ride quality as preload would, that being a little stiffer of a ride and some lift with the benefit of not changing the travel of the shock at all. Preload limits shock down-travel while a longer or stiffer spring gives you a firmer ride and the lift you want without limiting shock travel in any way. @ktmslado

 

Still no answer huh? Where is it that ur helping anyone.
I am trying to understand why u think u are correct. Please shed some light before u make urself look even more stuck up and stupid haha

 

So help me and explain tool!

 

See my 2 post prior above ^

 

Not with your name calling and homophobia post...nah I don't want to help you.

 

Cause u a bitch that's why

 

No one liked u when U were younger. That's why ur on here with a lifetime of useless posts haha

 

Lol ok

 

I made 1/2 aluminum top plate spacers for my Toytecs and extended my Superbumps to accomodate. Reduces uptravel but gives you the clearance and softer ride with less preload.

 

Spring rate and length are 2 different topics @stevotivo12
Talking about keeping the collar in the same spot. A long spring with the same rate will ride harsher cause its compressed more. Back the collar off 1inch of preload and ur at the exact same thing u started at. Same ride height. Same ride quality. Just a longer spring. Not sure what why this is becoming a problem.

Lord knowitall still can't give any answer to help out with this.
So not to help me cause I already get it, but maybe to help everyone else that now has to stumble on this thread and give them an answer cause there is nothing explaining why he's going to get more lift with a longer spring with same rate and the collar moved upwards an inch

 

Okay in that scenario you're going to get the lift AND ride you want (the one you cranked down the coils to get), without having to crank down on the collar and reduce your shocks uptravel. My original post I thought he was talking about leaving the collar in the same spot as he got it and installing either longer or stiffer springs but the same still holds true. Coilovers are designed to work with the shock hitting full extension and compression, but cranking down the collar moves the shock up in it's travel sacrificing the uptravel it was designed to have. For most this is negligible difference but if you're jumping the truck a lot or wheeling a lot then you need that uptravel for landings and off camber stuff or you'll be bottoming out shocks or worse, blowing them up.
