I drove the truck around to let everything settle in. Still the same measurements as before. Both front coilovers measure 9 1/8 inch (232mm) from the spring seat to the center of the lower mounting bolt. Checked the rear springs, tails next to the bump on the axile side and the flat sides of the...
the lean
When I got the Dobinson lift, I thought about getting the spacers for the dreaded drivers side lean. I talked myself out of it. Now I wish I hadn't. The truck has about 25k with the lift installed so, I think the springs have settled in by now. It would bother me every time I walked up...
Swapped out rear springs. Went from a Dobinson C59-701v to the C59-677v. I just did not have the weight for the 701s. Had to disconnect the driver upper trailing arm to get the spring to seat correctly. It was hitting the fuel tank. What a pain in the A$$ getting that reattached. Rides much...
I see you have a Magnuson sticker. How do you like the SC? Did you do the install yourself? I've talked to 4/5 shops in the Davenport/Moline area and none will touch the install.
I've read the same thing about spring falling out. I have the c59-354/MRA59-A574s up front, and the c59-701V/MRA59-A701 s in the back. Also got the Upper/Lower trailing arms and Panhard bar. I ordered the 677v the other day, and will give them a try. I did the math and I just don't have enough...
Thanks for the info. That was what I was thinking for the off-roading. I have been playing with the "normal" driving settings and I think I'm getting close. The rear end is harsh. I don't think I have enough junk in the trunk for the 701s. So I think I need to go down a spring size to the 677v.
The upper & Lower rear trailing arms came a few weeks ago. Installed and set pinion angle, and got an alignment. Any up date on settings for these? I started with the Prado 150 settings.
Front LSC - 10, HSC - 7, REB - 18
Rear LSC - 5, HSC - 5, REB - 9
Just turned the rebound (front and back)...
Had a box from Exit Offroad sitting on the porch when I got home. If you have not installed them yet here a few things I ran into installing them. The rear lowers go on easy. The Uppers are a little more involved. I have the C59-701V springs and the MRA59-A701 shock on the rear. Had to take off...
