At what point do the springs fall out?


Lovin the flex mind :naughty
 
the shocks only extend 2" so the springs are too big to fall out, if you put +3" shocks in then the springs would fall out without dislocation cones unless you had +3" springs aswell
 
For those of us that arn't up to speed yet ... what is ARB ? Surely you're not refering to ARB - the Aussie part manufacturer ??:confused:

:lol confused me too at the start, it's just fat hairy lazy man slang for anti roll bar (arb)

The anti roll bars limit the travel of the wheels up and down and stop excessive leaning when going round corners too :augie
 
No chance I'm getting rid of them, they do much more than just stop bumps. They are a weight aid too, you'd be silly to remove em :thumb2

Well if you want to keep them Alex get some big cable ties through them & over the chassis because they have a habit of just dropping off but the cable ties stop you loosing them down the road somewhere:thumbs

Ah okay, that's something for me to do :thumb2
 
... the shocks are +2 at the rear :thumbs

Another noob question ... + 2 what ?? Inches ?? what are the shock specs ? Dunno, that if I pop in to autoparts here locally, that they will know what the standard shock +2 will mean ... lol

Thanks :clap

well there are a few different meanings of +2.

the torsion bars have been wound up at the front to raise the front aprox 2"

the rear springs now have spacers underneath them which are 2" (thus raising)

and also my rear shock absorbers are rough country +2" shock absorbers.

I have also removed the rear anti roll bars, thats why I have so much travel :thumb2
 
Join the big articulation boys like me and elt. +3" shocks+3" springs and cut half your bumpstops off.
Now that's articulation:D

You can talk the talk, but can you flex the flex? :naughty
