Suspension Stuff Flexy Coils
Rear normal duty Flexy Coils. Designed to suit between no load and 100kg
If you have 3" lift rear flexy coils while running 6" lift shocks. Until the shock is fully extended you have 140lbs spring pressure plus the weight of your tyres, diffs etc which is still quite considerable purchase.
At ride height the normal duty coils have a 270lbs spring rate. When you start to flex it up the spring rate increases to about 330lbs. The reason we have done this is to give more stability in offroad situations without compromising ride comfort. Same occurs when you hit a large bump, the spring rate increases. Made out of 20mm wire. For the spring rate Gurus.
2-6" Normal Duty Rear Flexy Coils starts at 140lbs, 270lbs at ride height, 290 lbs and inch down, 310lbs a further inch down and then 330lbs a further inch down and than it stays at 330lbs.
If you have 100kg to 400kg Flexy Coils the same principles apply. Made out of 21mm wire.
2-6" Heavy Duty rear flexy coils start at 150lbs, 330lbs at ride height, 330lbs an inch down, 400lbs a further inch down and then it stays at 400lbs.
Rear Super heavy duty flexy coils, 400kg + made out of 22mm wire. We did test the spring rate but my supplier wrote it down and I haven't got the data off him yet. I have a set here but have not been put on a vehicle yet so not available until testing occurs. Not many people put that much load on their Patrol though.
Front Flexy Coils. They start at 140lbs, 230lbs at ride height with no winch, an inch down at 270lbs, so if you have a winch they will give you an approx 260lbs spring rate, and they stay at the 270lbs spring rate. This is plenty for the front otherwise you start to reduce your front flex.
The coils are designed so if you have normal duty coils and you put 10 tonne on the vehicle, the springs will still not sag as long as your bump stops and shocks don't fall off. So you get full warranty no matter what load you put on the vehicle.
