3.5" Allpro coil - what shocks are you using?

[Ryan04]

fffuuuuu. I really like my 2.0 Fox's but the Toytec Superflex springs are pretty stiff. Or im expecting too much.

i heard the sway aways (or camburg) rear coil springs are a little less stiffer but has 1.5 inches of lift. i was thinking about getting this and either fox rear shocks or sway aways rear shock

ive thought about those but everything i hear about SAW is super saggy after a few thousand miles.

I run the AP 3.5" coils with Icon shocks. Great ride, but I like it on the firm side, since I will haul an off-road trailer with it.

im running 5125 10" travel 16"/26" @ 255/70 valving. Works some much better than the standard RCD 11" 5100s. This summer I might step it up to the 11" 355/valved version. Ill have to find balance with the bump stop as its 17"/28" in length.

I'm running radflo 2.5 extended travel with mine work like a champ.

any of the extended travel rear shock options available will work. the billys just arn't quite long enough

are the allpro 3.5's stiffer then the springs that come with the radflo 2.5 kit in the rear?

I woudn't be able to say. I purchased the radflo kit from overland warehouse back when it was in business. They didnt have any 2.5 rear springs available when i jumped on their close out sale, thus leading me to purchase the allpro 3.5 springs.

The 3.5 springs are pretty soft, there is a lot of rocking back motion when taking off from a stop more so than factory or when i had OME rear springs. They ride really well though and offer a good bit of travel off road. Also with the front radflo 2.5 extended travel coilovers I'm sitting with about 1in of rake foward.

I need more weight in my rear, I have almost 2 1/2 of rake.

FWIW, I'm at 41" to the front fender and 42" to the rear fender from the ground, I may have my front cranked a bit more than you. 1.25" body lift for reference.

I'm at 40 3/4 up front and a little over 43" in the rear. Same with the 1.25" BL

I would think you were pretty close to my measurements all things considered lol. wonder whats causing our differences in the rear.

Do you have weight in the rear? Because I have nothing back there. Also could be that yours have just sagged more than mine
