Re: 40 series coil sprung.

he's right. try getting hold of some 60 series springs, they're quite a bit longer, but with longer shackels, you shouldnt have to move mounts. looks cool when you can get a leafy flexing :)

Re: 3" lift question

if you wanna correct pinion angle, get adjustable uppers. a friend runs a 5'' lift with standard lowers, adjustable uppers and boss shocks. you have to be carefull with longer lowers because as you said you will get close to your rear 1/4, though with 33's you should be ok. We're smashing the rear 1 ...

Re: corrigated road shox

My understanding is that yes gas charging was introduced to reduce aeration, but comes at the expense of replacing the volume of oil contained within the shock.If you pull one of these shocks apart you will notice there is only just enough oil to cover the piston and valve, once this small amount of ...

Re: corrigated road shox

yeah your right. the reference is to the fact they are not gas charged, which i believe leads to aeration of the oil when it gets hot

Re: 40 series coil sprung.

Problem is if you go removing too many leaves from the packs, they cant resist diff wrap. so you'd have to fit a wrap bar at least, and really once youve fit the bar, you can go quite soft with the leaf packs, so i dont see the point in fitting the coil. leaves can be pretty good once you get them ...

Re: corrigated road shox

Boss shocks by offroad boss. I run them on my comp truck and now my tow/tourer. They're 100% oil filled so do not fade, adjustable to allow for the massive change in weights your going to have, and are covered by a 12 month warranty

Re: raising front shock mounts??

Be carefull if your getting to much uptravel, with big tires (37's). I bought a set of superflex arms from offroad boss, had to lower the bumpstops to stop the tire tucking up and touching the steering box. Even if it clears with smaller tires, my opinion is with too much tuck you just end up ...
