Hi all, so, I am currently running a RC 4" x-series lift, I just put in an order to Northridge4x4 for a Coast 1310 Front driveshaft, bumpstops and a Teraflex 2.5 coil spacers, and now i'm starting to think maybe I should have went alittle lower with the coil spacers? My current RC coils don't ride near as high as they use to (i'm guessing they settled, but they just seem ALOT lower then when I first installed them) anyways, I am also installing a front aftermarket bumper and winch soon too, i'm hoping the weight of the bumper and winch will help lower some of the lift height and not make the 2.5 look so extreme. Am I just fooling myself and should call and cancel the spacers for something lower or will I be alright? Will my rear DS be alright or crumble at this angle? I'm not a hardcore rockcrawler and I can hold off on the trails till I get a rear DS if I have to, I just want to know I can still get from point A to point B without anything to fear during my average day. Sorry for the rant, any info would be great, thanks!

(I am currently running 35's but will be running 37" Toyo MTs by the end of the week)

 

Disregard. I sent Northridge4x4 customer service an email to change my order to a AEV 2.0" Spacer Kit, hopefully this will be alittle easier on my suspension until I can get the rear DS. Hopefully they get it, if not, guess I'll either install it and see where it goes or sell it and try again.

Not sure if this is any better of a situation but I feel alittle more comfortable about it going on the Jeep instead of the extra half inch. If I feel like I want any height later in the future, I'll look at BL's.

 

If you think your coils are sagging why not just buy new coils.? That's what I would have rather done than buying coil spacers. But that's just me..

 

Well, turns out I got an email back from David at Northridge4x4 asking me to give him a call about all my options, I may just go the route of replacing the coils afterall, haven't called him yet but will soon. I know the Teraflex coils seem to be well liked on the forum and ride higher then the average 4" coils. Like everyone, I was trying to save as much $$ as I could while still trying to get alittle more ride height but I guess I just need to bite the bullet on this one.

 

Just talked to David at Northridge, I'm guessing we pretty much got it all sorted out. He suggested replacing the 2.5 BB with just some 1" coil spacers and extending my bumptops, judging by the fact that they know Jeeps, I wont argue with the man. I was also able to save alittle more cash. I feel much more comfortable going this route. Their customer service is right on and extremely helpful!
