[QUOTE="rpf500, post: 416902, member: 6870"] This just keeps getting better. Worked last night till about 2 a.m. Not just on suspension, but still. Anyway, here are some specs. From all you guys have told me, and all I have read on the web, I am atleast smart enough to know that whoever set this up originally, didn't do it right. It's worse than what I originally thought and now I have a monster truck/crawler/roll over waiting to happen. On the bright side, I came from leaf springs like most everyone else and was amazed by the CO's. Can't imagine how awesome they would be if tuned correctly. I may give too much info so please bear with me. Front: C.O's at full droop, center bolt to center bolt= 39" Front bumper height before I did anything= 40" UNSPRUNG (full droop coil length) 14" and 14" Front bumper height when I added 1" of preload=41" Shaft length at full droop, WITH 1" preload on coils = 10.5" Shaft length, WITH 1" preload, at ride height = 9"..............yes, 9" On the front CO's, with 1" preload and have 5" of threads left at the top. (To be clear, I could add a 4" coil on top and have 1" of threads left.) Rear is the same F'd up story basically. C.O's at full droop, center bolt to center bolt= 35.25" Rear bumper height before I did anything= 34.25" UNSPRUNG (full droop coil length) 14" and 14" Rear bumper height when I added 1" of preload=35.25" Shaft length at full droop, WITH 1" preload on coils = 12.5" Shaft length, WITH 1" preload, at ride height = 11" On the rear CO, with 1" preload, I have 3" of threads left on top. Like I said before, I have no clue on the current spring rate. On the front, the coils APPEAR to be the same diameter just looking at them. On the rear, the upper coil is noticeably thinner and easier to push by hand. They are Hyperco coils. Other than that, that is all I know. I will post up some pictures of the monster truck in a minute. My old rig was on 39.5's and this has 42"s so some of it is just me getting used to looking at it. The cage is at 73". I was next to a buggy on 43's this weekend and I was taller than his belly by a little bit, and that was BEFORE the preload. [/QUOTE]
