I was just about to ask if anyone had done a rear 79 spring setup on their 75?shorty_f0rty wrote:also, anyone know the length difference of 75# vs 79# rear springs? I have heard that the 79's have a longer spring inthe rear, would this help you guys with longer shackles get more out of your suspension without getting new leaves made up?
just a thought..
I am contemplating doing it - if there are some tangible benefits.
Having driven lots of 79 traybacks I have found them to be a lot smoother offroad (partly due to the coil front end). The rear also feels a lot better than the 75s I drive. Obvioulsy the other aim is extra flex.
Badboy was it you with the u bolt flip kit? Someone has it listed in their sig line but it doesnt show up when reviewing posts while replying.
Where did you get it from? and how has it been? I have been wanting to do it for a long time. The big arse spring hangers just bite into mud and rocks too much!
I am in Canada now but am going to get stuck into the suspension setup on my 75 when I get back in a month or so. Will post up pics as they happen. Planning on 3" efs springs, 2" body lift and maybe extended shackles. Possibly even looking at the 79 springs for the rear too.
