Hmmm as I thought, my springs are sagged. 385mm I've got. Do you have you old measurements mlvr08? When I installed my springs they were second hand and I only got 25mm. I was just trying to reference to see if they have sagged more since the tray.

Nah sorry - im only running snake racing shakles and stock leafs - but mine are inverted, and in need of another leaf added and then reset etc. Not too sure what i need to do, but cant afford a new set of ultimates ones. I have a $6000 cape trip coming up in june, and just spent $1500 on goodies....

Well i need to get the front in mine sorted out.. Now that im running dual batteries and the winch, the front end has dropped to 540 both sides that running tough dog struts and dobinson springs...

Its about time i pulled my finger out and put in the set of dobinsons i have had lying around for to long now....

Does any one have a template for the top of the strut, so i can make up some spacers?

Yeah something isn't right there. I will check the picking order tomorrow and see what's gone wrong.

by **bill65** on Wed May 25, 2011 7:48 pm

the front springs were 1 1/2in shorter than THE EFS ones

The coils are completely different between the brands. Wire diameter, free length, number of coils, quality of material and manufacturing process all play a big part in the spring rating and performance. Looking at the picking slip, the vehicle should have been lifted to around 565-570 in the front. I have sent a PM and we will work out what's happened and what needs to be done to fix it.
