Alabama thread!

Then how you going to pass it if you don't study? There are online test prep places for it that have all the questions possible.

 

Or the root of all evil.

 

above coil. thats why i said in between mount and coilover. which your pic says reduce down travel...pic is wrong

 

for the simple, minimal use of trail comms, it's not worth any of that.

 

Got a link to that video?

 

So then I was right.

 

graphic is wrong

 

Shoudkve known a medic would know

 

Yeah quit editing your posts. lol

Are you just saying it is wrong or you know for a fact it is wrong?

I don't care if I'm wrong. I just want to walk away from the conversation being informed correctly.

 

lol Richard is the king of editing his posts.

 

well i dont see how it could limit droop.

also i dont think the in coil spacers limit up travel. it just takes more pressure to achieve the same up travel. unless the coil is compressed all the way which i dont think happens in our trucks

 

i

only edited it because the quote tags got messed up

 

I mean i guess the in between spacer works on a similar concept as the adjustable 5100's so its prolly not that terrible but i feel like 5100's are cheap and if your using stock springs they are money better spent than spacers

 

@tweakit88 what are people breaking who use in coil and above coil spacers? we must get to the bottom of this

 

Will get you that one sec. And 2 since you are more than likely the authority on the topic. What kind of supplies would you recommend for a med kit for our offroad/camping trips.

I see what you are saying, as the static extension length will not change on an above coil spacer, as the whole assembly is just displaced downwards.

But I think I see why now. When you lower the top mount of the shock, it extends its range of motion downward. When you have a rotating control arm that it's mounted to, you could cause a bending force in the shock because the geometry of the shock's travel is now changed, and not in line with the rotating axis of the control arm. Maybe.

We need answers. Now.

 

Leverage is why it breaks. Take a tooth pick and hold each end and see how easy it breaks, then put ur fingers close together and see how much more force is needed to breaks it. A top plate spacer is just lengthening your tooth pick

 

But we're talking about reduced droop, not snapping like a toothpick.
