TTB coil-over spring rates/lengths

[BDKW1]

Since you've got 3.0's, run a 22" 350# spring with a tender........

[Andy Jones]

Thanks Brian! oh yeah is the coil i.d im looking for a 3.63" ID Coil ?? And is their a recommended valving to start with? The truck will see mild prerunning, family fun and recovery duties. the rear will be set up with a spring pack and a 3.0 bypass.

[BDKW1]

Edit that, 24" spring. Not sure what ID the Fox's are.

Valving? You want the funky Fox or King strait stack?

Your probably going to be at .015/.010 with 2 or 3 bleed holes open to start with.

Okay I know this has been discussed briefly here and there, but what would you recomend for coils on a 12" Dual rate that is going on a +4 per side beams for a bronco. The Bronco is a do all rig but spends most of its time in the desert I appreciate your thoughts.

Nice!!!

[Polarcub]

Nice!!!

Thanks T...Talked to Joel today I should have the hardware next week! The goal is to have the bronco back up and running by the April Trip and dialed by the Baja trip!

Spill the beans.. what all are you doing?

[Polarcub]

Spill the beans.. what all are you doing?

Okay....The front is getting completely redone...New Beams trussed, uniball +4, new radius arms +trans crossmember and bumps....The rear is getting a 9" and bumps with the rear shocks moving to get some compression back still running into the bed. Speaking of which what length are your bumps in the rear T?

[tcm glx]

Tell Joel you ned a set of "Bilstein ShortStops"

2" stroke, but instead of a regular bump with a spacer, he cuts the shaft and can down by the same 2"to make for a much shorter air bump... fits underneath like a charm.
Looking forward to your setp!! Is Black Market doing the work?

BlackMarket is dead...LOL DeserConcepts INC is doing all the work with a bit of my elbow grease thrown in as well. Bryan and I have been talking about this for awhile....also going to 37"s most likely....I am super stoked I do need to get these parts sold though sooner than later.

Hahaha, same difference!! Desert Concepts!! Right on Jer, I am sure you will be super pleased. Did you go 12" or 14" in the front?

[Polarcub]

Going 12" leaving room for a bypass on the front

I have ran 3 different set ups….how do you like the ride of your rig? soft? stiff?
400 top 550 bottom 50/ 50 this was on a 14, with 14 inch top and bottom
450 top 500 bottom 40/60 this was on a 14, with 12 top 16 inch bottom
400 top 500 bottom 40/60 this was on a 12, with 10 inch top spring 14 inch bottom

I prefer a bit firmer than some not race rig rough but firm I dont like the caddy feel if that makes sense...I was thinking of 450/500 I definately would like the small stuff (speed bumps) to go unnoticed but this is new territory for me

Jer,

On my ride I spoke with two different guys that built Bronco prerunners and they all said 450 over 500. Plus I've heard the same here from a lot of guys that are running those spring rates. Can't tell you much about the ride as my rig is down with motor issues. I hope that helps.

Chris

[Polarcub]

It does chris I just wanted to get some opinions to weigh my own against. Hopefully it will help another as well!

[BajaBronco13]

Jer,

I don't know if coil lenghts will make a difference but I have those numbers if you need them. But I'm running Kings and it sounds like you're running Bilsteins, again not sure if it matters, just mentioning it.

450 over 500 is what was on the crew cab centurion ttb to start with it was a firm ride on the heavy truck....would work well.....are you going to do 40/ 60 or 50/50 I don’t even know if it makes a difference.

[Polarcub]

Not sure on that yet probably 50/50...not sure if it really matters

[Deleted Account]

really depends alot of the mounting position or the shocks too.
