3rd gen trail edition suspension

So I have a line on the suspension from a 3rd gen Trail Edition. If I understand correctly the trail edition is about an inch taller than the regular 3rd gen. So that should give me almost 2” but hopefully closer to 1.5”. I’d be interested to know if anyone else has swapped in the Trail suspension and what their results were.

 

So I ended up getting a complete trail edition suspension front and rear for $300. Before I was roughly 21” rear and 19.5 front. I’ll post numbers after but right now I’m looking for rear torque specs. I’m about 9 Modelos deep and not real into searching.

 

I had this saved on my phone. The u-bolts should be ~73 not 37.

 

@Island Cruiser thank you sir

 

Hope you enjoyed the well-deserved beer man. I look forward to seeing some pics!

 

So the numbers pre 3rd gen springs was roughly 21 rear 19.5 front. I didn’t take detailed measurements. After installation LF 21.75 RF 22
LR 22.25 RR 22.5.

I’m hoping the front settles a bit

 

Now I have to get with @Discount Tire about some 235/85/16s

 

Nice, man! What differences have you noticed so far with the ride? The front will settle over time

 

Other than just a short trip to the kid's cheer camp thing I haven't done much driving but you can defiantly tell it feels better.
