I haven't had mine out yet but I put 375/500 on mine. Mark at south west ordered them with 500/500 thing was stiff as hell. Our bronco look like twins.

Pretty close huh, I have 400 over 500 on mine now and it's too stiff as well. This new set is 300 over 400. I will test it by the weekend.

I have 350/450 on mine and it's too soft for +4 beams. In case anyone want to do a trade.

Im 400/500 and its almost too soft. I did notice though that after i firmed up the compression its alot better.

I'm going to throw on a 600 lower

Isn't there a thread for the spring rate discussion?

You guys keep getting me excited to see if anyone answered my question about f20/10 standing for flutter stack setup.

My guess would be a fluttered .020 for compression and reg. 010 for rebound. Call them right now. LOL!

Ahh Sunday a day for rest and relaxation...
So I spent the better part of 4hrs replacing every bolt in my beadlocks, the wheels were purchased used from a race team and I have to guess the bolts were stretched and fatigued. Every time I got where I was going I was missing a few bolts here and a few bolts there. On one wheel I had 7 shear in the wheel. A lot of fun grinding left handed drills and some quality time with an easy-out later I now have ( hopefully) reliable beadlock bolts. Btw if you shear or lose 5 bolts the tire goes flat, not that you can't drive it like that. I got a flat 1/2 way to el cajon and only realized it when I got where I was going. Today no leaks, no sheared or lost bolts so my effort was not in vain. If anyone wants to know you must use a torque wrench and set it to 10lbs make 3 laps, 15lbs 3laps, 18lbs and 2 to 3 more laps to maintain even pressure. Re torque or check every 2 to 3 months and anti sieze each bolt before install.

Damn, that's a friendly reminder why I don't want beadlocks. Hahaha

Oh ya I also put the new kings on the other night, still a bit stiff on the initial bumps for my liking. I've been meaning to move my lower shock mounts toward the frame more so that's up next, this should add a little more leverage on the shocks n soften up the ride a bit. I made the replacement tabs the other night.

Yes beadlocks are a big ole fat pain in the ass. But worth it when pissed off for cornering too fast with low tire pressure and poping a bead (been there too).

Shock tabs:

Proof that SoCal gets rain once in a while, took a short cut that turned drift fest between guide wires and high tension poles. On the wet clay it was like driving on ice, sideways pinned in 3rd gear drifting 25mph sliding for days. I started getting a little nervous in the super squishy sections. I really didn't want to get stuck.

Rmc · Post by **Rmc** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 12:41 am

I drove back n forth through a big deep puddle after so I could help the wipers with the big chunks.
