To bad it is only a prototype.....

Here is the read on it > https://autos.yahoo.com/news/worlds-most-advanced-gas-engine-170021695.html

 

Going to be ordering some stiffer springs than the 600ppi ones I currently have. To complement the Addco front sway bar that Lucario Runner gave me.

It makes me curious what length springs that most of you off road guys use, and which ppi? I use the 2.5" diameter, but I believe that the King Racing shock, or other, are 3" diameter.

 

Spring diameter is dependent on shock diameter. 2.0" shocks run 2.5" springs, 2.5" shocks run 3" springs and so on.

On my 5100's I was running OME 886 springs with are like 15.7" long and 656ppi. They were a bit too soft for my weight though.

For the bolt on 2.5" coilovers for 2nd gens made by King, and Icon, they usually come with 12" or 13" long springs with 600 or 650 ppi. You can request them up to 14" at 700 ppi which is what most of the fully armored guys need to run. These shocks have about 5.5" of travel.

For the LT guys running 8" travel shocks, they use 16" or 18" long springs with anywhere from 550ppi to 700 ppi (in increments of 50) depending on how heavy they are.

For 10" and up, you typically see 2, 3, or 4 different springs stacked on the shock and there are far too many possibilities there to mention. haha

 

Thank you Brady.

I brought that question up because when I was looking at Kings, some time ago, there was a limit to how high the ppi would go for a 3" diameter spring. I didn't search for long because I went with a different setup. In my recent search for higher ppi for my 2.5" springs, PAC Racing springs has higher ppi springs than Eibach. In both 2.5" and 3". Figured that might be of use other members as well.

 

I'm running 650's now, but I did have 700x18x3" for a while. They were too stiff for me, but my truck is gutted and weighs less than a stock one. If you were closer I'd take you for a ride. It would surprise you how well a properly tuned LT does on the street.

 

I bet it does handle quite well, and if I were closer, I'd definitely takes you up on that offer. Haven't ridden in a long travel setup yet.

 

It's amazing lol. I got super spoiled, same weekend trip to the desert I got to ride in a truck with front LT and rear MT, was a way better ride than my truck...and then I got to go for a ride in a trophy truck, and that has set my expectations way to high lol

 

My buddy in his mt truck switched to 500lb springs on his 2.5 kings. Rides smooth. He has the knobs to adjust the damping on the resi.

It trucks are like crack. Every drive I want to put more into it. I'm definitely more heavy than stock

 

And thus the turbo. ^^^

 

senor torspd...quick question.

ill be adding a trd supercharger sometime this next year, is upgrading the TB to a 76 mm from a tundra onto the 1gr worth it?

 

^what he said, same here lol.

 

I suggest the 70mm one from the Dual VVT-I 1GR (FJ or 4Runner). As it is much closer to port matched. It is still larger than ours.

 

me and christian where discussing this yesterday (either the 70mm or the 76mm)

got it...been thinking that if it helps some i can find a used one anywhere online for a bit cheap

 

It's a trap
