Where can I find spring lengths?

Post by **Drift Technician** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 10:23 am

Did a quick search and couldn't find anything on the subject.

I wish to put longer springs in the rear of my 75 series, the current EFS springs have the shackle standing vertical rather than horizontal.

Is there anywhere where I can available spring lengths so I can see what would be suitable for the rear?

Following is what is written on the spring itself:

EFS springs

PO# 18519
TLC25

Best I can measure it eye to eye by myself is 129cm from eye to eye in a straight line.

From what I can badly measure using a flexible tape, 138cm from eye to eye.

This is with weight on the springs, shackles vertical and wheels on the ground.

what size shackle? EFS make different length/ height springs. Mine sit on about a 30 degree angle with a 2'' shackle I think they are like 80mm lift setup

The TLC-25 is a constant 300kg spring, so that meens that spring can carry 300kg of weight at a 2" lift before it will start to sag, so if you don't have any weight on the tray, the shackle standing stright up is normal ( with no weight) if you took a leaf out that would make the pack a TLC-24 witch is a confort 200kg pack. You could go to carrols and get Jim in the work shop to make a longer main and rap, or a custom pack maybe

If there is anything else you need just ask.

P.S i work for EFS

Was in there the other week dropping some springs off for them to sort out for a mates 75 and they told me they wouldn't lengthen the spring. If they can lengthen the spring then I will drop the truck off there for them to sort out in the future. Articulation on the back is minimal at best as shown in this pic:
