80 series springs

Post by Glux »

G'day all, I know this would have been talked about and a have look but can't find what I'm after, I have a 80 series that has been cut into a ute with 1hz in, I'm wanting to know which coil springs to put in it, I'm looking at going 4-5 inch, it is mainly a daily driver but do have 38's I'll be putting on and 4wding with every so often, I was thinking either kings or dobinson, I'm after something fairly soft and that won't sag as I have a steel front bar and a high mount winch on front and steel tray on rear, I don't normally car to much weight. What do you guys think?

I had 5" red dobinsons on my dual cab 80 and found them really stiff, changed to 4" efs with 1" spacers and they were great.

flexy coils should give a nice soft ride, not sure about sagging with steel bar or anything.
i'll be using flexy coils but my ute probly weighs a lot less than yours so i need them just to be half normal
