wats the difference, jimny/coily??
im jus curious if u could use jimny springs in the coily, the make 80mm lift springs for a jimny and i can only find like 35mm for the sierra coily
The springs aren't the reason why there's only a 35mm kit for coil sierras.
The front end of coil sierras has many design compromises, least of which is a very short and small diameter shock. Caster is also an issue.
Basically, if you want more than 35mm of lift and any sort of travel in the front and of a coiler, an almost complete redesign is required - to say nothing of the back, which has its own quirks.
The thing is, there's no need to run more than 35mm of suspension lift in a coiler - with a BL and some bumpstop spacing, you can comfortably run a 31" tyre on a coiler with this much lift, and that's the limit of what the front end can handle anyway from a strength point of view, and the easy limit of what can be geared.
If you are able to handle the fabrication involved in fixing the front end, what springs you end up using are the easy bit.
