[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 505477, member: 1780"] [b]Re: Re:[/b] As long as it's linked correctly, it will perform better than the many rigs out there with one end linked and the other end being leaf sprung. The key is the shock you pair with the coils! If there is a problem unloading, it isn't the spring, it's the shock (or could be bad link setup). The shock dampens, just as the coilover shock does inside the springs. most people run a cheap generic shitty long travel shock with coils instead of spending the money on a good shock absorber, which is what you will do when you buy a Fox or King c/o. Valving is key here. You wouldn't buy a "valved for all applications" Trailmaster coilover from Advance Auto if they made one would you? Why pair it with a coil spring setup and expect high quality performance? Coils mounted farther in closer to the diff will allow for more wheel travel, but will also make the vehicle more tippy in off camber situations. Just have to find the midpoint to where they allow plenty travel to suffice for your wheeling style and yet not sit too far in to make the rig too tippy. [/QUOTE]
