2" spring lift? how to get decent flex

Post by 4WD WOG »

hey guys,

i currently got a MK swb patrol with 2" body and 2" shackles, im now looking at getting a 2" spring was hoping before the wkend, i called a few places today and it seems i can only get 7 leaf packs which is going 2 be sh^t flex and a rough ride, are there any places that sell leafs especially for flex or what could i do to make it flex better, i thought about taking a few leaves out? if i did this which leaves would i take out?

Ok before ordering 2" over springs. forget it. when u order yes get all 7 leaves too many is better than not enough. Order 2" over spring with longer main leaves..
I had power down truck shocks, 2" longer 75series yota shackles (bout 3inches longer than std MK shackle, ironman spring packs(very soft sagged with SD33t) with i think 1.5 or 2" longer main leaves, then put more set on them.. Its more ideal to keep the sping as flat as possible to give better articulation..

The shocks are still way too short, i think i can gain a lot with longer ones.. All this suspension is under the shute im building
