Northern Virginia Roll Call

Fox 2.5 dsc's....smart-ass....

I would need them, but i got some fancy blue parts.

 

Lighter.

The math says I should be running 350-450# springs if they're 16", or 450-600# springs if I go to 14" springs. It just depends on the ride height I decide on.

 

I also have 14" 650# and 700# springs off "sensatracks".

 

I would lean towards the 16” spring for the 8” shock, but The lighter I have been able to run the better the truck feels off road to me ( only my opinion with my limited knowledge)

 

If I weld them together can I have a 675# 28” spring? And will it still fit my sensatracs?

 

Yes and yes. Its actually a pretty common mod. Pretty sure its one of the sticky'd threads

 

That makes sense because it should absorb bumps better as long as your compression valving can keep up and you have enough rebound valving to not pack up the suspension. The only reason I did the math for 14" springs is because the Baja Kits spec shocks are an 8" shock with a spacer to limit the stroke to 7".

 

Perfect! I’ll take them! Jb weld is a reliable weld right?

 

Entirely depends on how clean the surfaces are, but its safe to say yes. Its pretty obvious 'weld' wouldn't be in the name if they didn't mean it.

 

I was wondering about their kit configuration a while ago and thought they must have a more vertical mounting point compared to tc or something but honestly when I bottom out up front my upper fender rails get crushed , so maybe it’s just to prevent that

 

Yep found the sticky! #sensatrac650over700=675jbweldmod

 

You know the fix for this, right? Buying an f-150 raptor. 0 rubbing.

 

True'z that!

 

Ok.. thoughts... any of you cats runs with out the sways hooked up?

Yeah you get some serious lean depending on spring weight. but damn if it aint fun even on the black top.

 

You know what my raptor did well? I don’t know either.

 

Didn't crush the upper fender rails? Whatever that means.

 

Oh yeah. A raptor definetly doesnt do that.

 

@Darkgoatracer says as long as your running sensatracs you can ditch that front sway bar and never look back!

 

This.
