Front End Sag - options
I have read the suggestions for fixing front end sag from winches and bumpers but I am not sure how to proceed.
Winch: 90 pounds Bumper: 80 pounds Total extra weight: 170 pounds Hard top half the year, stock rear bumper for now. My question is how to resolve this being that I have a 2" budget lift (coil spring spacers). It sounds like several threads recommend inserting spacers in the front to even out and lift the front end. The rake does not bother me as much as the loss of suspension and the slight bouncing feeling when driving down the road - you can feel the difference in the front end too. Do I need to update the springs to a heavy duty spring, change out the spacers? Any help would be appreciated - I am not doing the work and want to make sure I get the correct fix in place. Thanks- |
Buy some TeraFlex 2.5" coils and get your suspension travel back!:thumbsup:

I'm considering replacing my 2.5" spacer with 2.5" coils. Quadratec has Skyjacker & Rubicon Express listed in 2.5", but does not list Teraflex :thinking: That lead me to believe you could only get the 2.5" Tera coils by purchasing the complete kit, which I don't need to do- I just want coils. Now, given the 3 coil options, anyone have any first-hand experience with the ride quality of these? I don't want a stiffer ride. In fact I would prefer a softer on road ride. But since I do wheel mine (X Unlimited), it needs to be capable off-road too. |

Thanks for the feedback. One more question since I am still learning.....
Can I replace the 2" poly spacers with coil springs that are 2" longer? Could I have done this on both front/rear in place of the poly spacer lift? If I can install just the coil springs to get a 2" lift, why would anyone want to do the poly lift? (cost, ease of install???) If I read the above information correctly, I will get a little bit extra travel if I have the longer coil springs. I will call NorthRidge to see what options are out there - I saw some Old Man EMU springs that are spec'd for the increased load.....guessing Teraflex and others have them too. |
