Hello,

I assume you are running a custom long travel kit and or a long travel kit that uses a 10" travel shock? As far as spring rates most of the 6"
top coils are a 500lb, not a 550lb which the top coil will not effect the the rate too much as the truck will always ride on the lower 16"
coil. Unless the shocks are mounted at an angle over 20 degrees or so most people use a 500lb lower coil for a 4cyl and a 600lb coil for a V6.
Again if the shock is mounted at a pretty good angle that will effect the spring rate and you will need to go higher than a 500lb. As far as cost Radflo will probably be the cheapest in terms of Price for what we carry with king just a few $$ more. We would suggest either the King, Fox, or Radflo and I will list the prices below. All prices include a dual rate spring set up with a 6" and 16" coil (all rates are the same cost in those lengths):

King 2.5" x 10" travel coil over hose remote: $609.24 each

Fox 2.5" x 10" travel coil over hose remote: $688.26 each

Radflo 2.5" x 10" travel coil over hose remote: $607.36 each

Thank you,
Neil




dont you guys think a 500top and a 500 bottom wont be enough to hold the weight of my truck?

4x4, I4, ext cab, caged front-back, this truck gets 99% desert and gets driven hard, when it gets driven...

 

I don't think they know your shit is fully caged haha

 

i aint no LT genius but say u need 1000lbs overall so wouldnt u run a soft spring like 300lb and then like a 700lb spring? that way the 300 absorbs all the small stuff and then when u hit something bigger the 700 would help out alot.. thats how all my buddies are set-up and over at HDL fab, jake always sets them up like that.. idk i might be wrong! but just throwin out there wat i know

 

I didn't know you got to use the computer on house arrest haha

 

Its much more complicated than that, a 300# and 700# spring do not make 1000#'s. With 300# and 700# as an example your primary would be at 210#'s, then once the 300# spring bottoms out you would go to 700#'s

 

mommy hasnt been home yet but no phone!! haha they aint gonna be able to find me in here

 

ahh gotcha.. ya i aint the LT know it all but u know wat im talkin about atleast

 

X2. Maybe he's grounded from computer and phone usage?

 

hahahahaahaha!

 

haha actually i am!! haha not my parents though. i had court this morning for shit that happend last month blah blah blah got arrested and it was some BS. so i didnt get fucked as bad as i thought i would! and my record/insurance is gonna stay clean too bad news is, they have a court sheet saying all this stuff i have to do and no licence or phone or internet till the 23rd of august. house arrest and only to work and school. and if i get caught not being were im suppose to be (officer comes and checks randomly) then i get fucked and have to pay for all of it and my licence could get taken till im 18 ... well game on i guess

 

i made sure to tell them it was caged front-back so its heavy.

its not just going off of other peoples numbers either, you got shock angles, and you also got the kits and where the shock bolts too, like beams or IFS ETC.
500 over 500 seems way too low. the top spring would be bottomed out at ride height or am i wrong?
And thisVV

 

Yet your on the internet now

 

haha like i said, they cant find me in here

 

Your probably hiding under your bed with your feet sticking out

 

fuck you and ur popcorn hahaha jk

pshhh nahhh.... maybee
