The Lair

Good news @EatSleepTacos. Accutune felt the fronts didn't need a rebuild.

 

I have some serious Tacoma envy right now...

 

Really? That’s awesome and surprising considering I’m the second owner. There’s probably 40k-60k on there.

 

Third times a charm. Hopefully these 500 lb coils are what I like. So far, they seem perfect. Dropped the one side down 3/4” which should put me where I want to be.

 

That IS surprising. I'll go with what they say. Just asked for a re-valve and done.

 

Gonna make some moon boots with the other springs? Goddamn...

 

I was able to sell the 700 coils for $100 the other day, gonna list the 600s for sale as well

 

I was going to ask if George got chocolate wasted and sent it with the credit card again...

 

I checked these out before. Odd there's a 70, 75, 80, 90, 95 but no 85

If you ever swap 18” coils onto 8” coilovers, one thing to be mindful of is coil block height. Coil block is when the coil is fully compressed and the rings are touching each other. For my specific coils, that’s 8.43” long per @AccuTune Offroad website.

What that means is when your shock is fully compressed, your two coil seats must be further apart than the block height of your coil. It’s easy enough to check with a measuring tape. For me, this is as much preload as I can add to the shock, leaving me a whopping 0.13” cushion at full compression.

To check on the workbench, you add the block height plus your shaft length. In this case, 8.43 + 7.5 = 15.93” minimum distance between coil seats. I’m at 16.06” as it sits right now.

 

Whew, these 500 lb coils are soft. I love it though. 550 probably would’ve been a better fit but I don’t want to swap on a 4th pair of coils.

 

What did you use to change them?? Pretty sure I am changing mine tomorrow

 

Liar liar pants on fire

 

Damn, that's the 2 year ago version...lol

 

That's a lame ass front bumper if I ever saw one. I'll reserve this for the Weak Wednesday Wannabe posts.

 

I tend to agree with you on that... stock was way better. Think this one will go to goodwill
