[QUOTE="Blase, post: 77316, member: 424"] I love the idea on coils on a tube buggy. I was looking at running stock TJ Coils on my buggy but due to space and preformance requirments they would not work. I do feel that coils in some crawling situations are much more stable. However if you want to do any high speed stuff or like a C.O.T. ride they are not the way to go. On the wieght I feel that it is hard to judge in some cases. My full bodied jeep only wieghed 3600LBS with a v8,atuo 60's and 39's. This is what it wieghed with everything that carried on the trails. However I never carried any spares in the rig with me. I have no radio,No CB,No drink holders and only a small tool box with the basics. My point is that most Full bodied jeep guys carry a TON of **** so everyone thinks that a full bodied jeep should be heavy. My point is that the same holds true for buggies. Not evey guy build everything out of 1/4 plate or every tube out of .12 wall. Some go bigger and some go smaller. Just my .002 :flipoff1: [/QUOTE]
