Dangit I saw this on FB and just reposted this in the WTF thread before seeing you posted it. Pretty crazy, those guys in the back are a bunch of D-Bags.

 

thats BS, Id be surprised if his rear axle doesnt looks like the letter U.

 

exactly. like anybody laid their ass on the ground and crawled under the truck and looked at everything under there for at least a good 10 min.

So right now I'm running 16" 600 pound springs up front with my AP plate bumper and a winch. Coils are cranked about 2.5" to provide enough compression for that heavy front end.

I'm collecting materials to build a tube bumper and relocate the winch to the rear of the truck (between frame spars).

What do you all think of swapping to 18" 500 pound springs once I get that plate bumper off? Wouldn't crank the springs at all. Basically looking for the same or a little more ride height/bump travel and softer compression.

 

500# might be a bit too soft for you chase. i'm waiting on UPS to drop off my 18" 550#... i'm dropping down from 16" 620# with no pre load on the coils

 

...

 

Where did you find 550# pound springs Matt? That's what I originally wanted.

To me it seems the longer the spring, the more dampening it can provide without a harsh, stiff ride. That sound right?

 

i got my coils through poly. call them up and when you order ask for the dezert rangers discount.

your logic on the coil sounds reasonable to me, but honestly IDK...
