Hey guys, thanks for the info, but I think I may have confused a couple of you...

I don't want to go taller, I just want to make up what I lost due to the added weight of all the stuff I've added.

The jeep sitting on the shop floor (level) is obviously low in the front... just under an inch from a measurement at the front of the sliders to the rear...
I figure I have lost a smidge over an inch in the front and not sure about the rear due to the bumpers, winch and tire carrier... I am going to be adding another couple hundred lbs. when I add the poison spyder fenders and sliders...
All I want to do is have full use of my springs without using spacers to make up the difference...

I like the idea of the progressive rate springs designed to hold up to the added weight, I have looked at a little taller regular spring which will basically do the same thing but the heavier spring just sounds better....

 

In the same bucket as the OP. Running the TF BB and hanging the metal front bumper/winch combo, rear bumper/tire carrier, and sliders....figure its dropped over an inch in the front and rear. I've talked with David (Northridge) and Joe (Teraflex) both have said in my case simply swapping out the 2 1/2" TF BB with the 2 1/2" TF Coil Spring Kit - should set me up nicely...and get back missing height "ahum" stiffness back. Probably going to pull the trigger on the coil lift here within a week.

 

I just orderd some *************** progressive springs... should do the trick...

 

Hey KSU MAN,,, looks like you have a real solid rig!!! you think you can run out this way sometime this summer and hit some runs with us???
And how about posting some good places to go out you're way... maybe some of us can trek over there??

 

Hey Dex,

Appreciate the comment ....Heck yeah...I know I'll be trying to hit these JJUSA events this year. Perhaps if I can firm up the Badlands trip we can meet up.

May 13-15 Palo Duro Canyon - Amarillo, TX
June 10-12 The Badlands - Attica, IN
Sept 16-18 Ouray, CO

I'll ping you as the trip to the Attica gets closer...unfortunately here in KS - I'm not finding very many places to wheel. I've been up to Randolph, KS (Tuttle Creek ORV Park) area a couple of times. Seems like here I need to travel quite a bit of distance to find some decent wheeling opportunities.

Mike

 

Keep in touch.....
