That makes the best sense...

Aren't you building the same kind of thing Randy?

Yea but with leafsprings sitting 24" ftame to ground now on non broken in springs and 35s

 

[Dark Knight]

What springs you use? 24" is not bad! Leafs would be so much easier. If i dont do leafs I will most likely use JK coils and set it up 3-linked with them.

Trailgear 3" hd leafs i still need some rears though

 

[Dark Knight]

damn! 35's look tiny!

With a jeep coil set up....

That build makes my dick tingle. But seriously, that's one he'll of an expensive setup. It's all expensive really, my needs call for a little less than that I believe. Maybe it'll be that by the time I get to it?? Doubtful.

What brand of light bar? Lumens?

 

[Dark Knight]

Rigid 20" SR. 6400 Raw Lumens. I dont understand how people say you can outrun the beam on these LED lights. no F'n way!

In other news. I believe my truck is sagging the 750# rate springs. It is 1/2" lower than 2months after install. Maybe it was sitting differently? Measured both, then and now, on flat concrete surface. I will have to keep a closer eye on it to log measurements.

 

[PSU Taco85]

Jesus. I didn't even know anybody using 750 # springs. How much weight you have on the front to cause them to sag??

 

[Dark Knight]

Arb, winch, full skids, sliders, dclb.... I don't know, maybe I tarded out and measured wrong when I first put the tape up there? I was at 9500ft above sea level... going to keep a closer eye on things.

After a 5 hr round trip to Nashville, I'm a little surprised how stiff the new struts ride. Mostly bridge embutments and standard pot holes, both are jarring at interstate speed. I will check my tire pressures again tomorrow but I am almost certain they are at 34psi resting temp as I keep up with that regularly.

They ride well at lower speed. With just this short amount of ride time I'm wondering if I just swapped shitty off road performances/great on road ride (skyjacker struts) for not so great highway ride/great off road performance (icons)?

Any thoughts on why the jarring stiffness at high speed?

 

[Anathollo]

Do you have the sway bar on? My Icons(leepers) rode like complete shit until I took out the sway bar. I think it has to do with Icons being a digressive shock.

 

[Dark Knight]

Swaybar is long gone.

#750 spring problems

 

[Dark Knight]

These are 700# on the icons. 750#'s were butter on the skyjackers.

Tire pressure is right on 34psi.
