Proposal for a 2 inch lift (not more).

Postby xychix on Tue, 27 Aug 2019 10:31 +0000

Due to parking garages I shouldn't get to high.

I'm running a medium weight Rhino Evolution in the front combined with a 35kg Runva 9500 winch.
In the rear I always carry ~150 - 200 kg's of tools and a polyester canopy

I've been advised on shocks / springs
- all round tough dog adjustable 40mm shocks (BM404600 front / BM401376 rear)
- king springs: KTFR-101EHD
- OME leafs: EL044R


Any opinions / warnings / alternatives welcome.

(we've had the option on the table to go all Tough Dog with front TDC974 spring and T80L rear leafs. But as the above kit is adviced by the specialist we'd have the option to get issues resolved while the latter would be out own risk (apart from warranty)

I'm running an approx 55kg bar with a which on 800lbs/in coils. The are likely to be heaviers than that but DMS scrubbed the label off (I ordered 800 but I can see from the poorly scuffed label that they are 825 or 875). I think from this thread those kings are 800lbs/in:

Anyhow, they work fine. Probably doesn't flex up front as much as I'd like (more a swaybar issue) but the front does fully compress in the sanddunes - so its probably about right for what I do.

In the rear I'm running stock springs with extended shackles to give me about 40mm of lift. I'm very happy with this setup.
I might be wrong.
