Re: Kritter's 96 Bronco

Thanks for the feed back. I currently am building the bronco with Deaver Q80's but my rear is too low. I have a set of Kings with different coils coming from Solo to set the front ride height hopefully this will help, but I fear the Q80's are too soft. I'd love to hear how these new springs hold up ...

Which came first, chicken or the egg (coil over/ bypass )

Ok, looking at all the cool photos I see it both ways. With an engine/shock hoop mount like Solo's engine cage which shock should be mounted up front ? And Why ?

Re: Q80 ride height

Well that is where my dilemma is, I am not sure that the ride height in the back is correct. When I purchased the components I received the springs but they had no tags or Id on them, based on others measurements with the same setup they are several inches low, which if up would make the from much b...

Re: Q80 ride height

Yes they are stock beams, I had attached the photo for reference. It is a Solo engine cage and has a 12" coil over shock with a 10" shock mounted behind the beam, based on where they are mounted they both travel full stroke. Just for comparison what is the measurement from the top of the beam to the...

Re: Q80 ride height

Ok, great information. How about the front then, with an engine cage and coil overs what is the measurement form the front axle to the frame ?

Re: Q80 ride height

Thanks guys, with the question of the front springs. Keep in mind these are 12" shocks. overall length is 28" eye to eye. So yes I should most likely use 1 10" and 14" spring, but even with the shorter springs the shock is still extended fully with the preload, how much should the front end sag unde...

Re: Q80 ride height

Thanks guys. My issue is that I am too low in the rear. I measure 8 3/4" on the Left and 9 1/4" on the Right. This is measured to where the frame lip rolls down a bit. Here is my setup : Front - Solo Engine Cage 12" coil overs - 500#(8") spring over 550#(12") coils and a 10" shock behind. I set the ...

Q80 ride height

Need some help here. Trying to get some information to check my set up. Can someone who has Q80 springs tell me what the ride height is on their rig ? I'm looking for the measurement between the axle tube and the frame ( directly up from the tube is the funny notch they have from the factory ). Plea...

Re: fiberglass tailgates

That's good to hear that you CAN sit on the TG, I was afraid that you could not even sit on it. I was considering a slide out shelf or something like that but it would be complicated and too heavy.

Re: Bump Stop length

On the rear the package will get pretty tight, I do have a about 9 inches of bump travel at ride height. The front is easier to package but again I only have about 8 inches of bump, so is 4 inches or so ok to use the 4" or would it ride better on the 2" bump ?
