LC 7.5/8 wrap or LX450 coils….which to install?

[Cow_doc.308]

So some how I've found myself with 2 sets or rear coils.
I've got a 7.5/8 wrap set out of a FJ80 (don't remember the paint code off hand and too lazy to go look at the moment.

I've also got a set of springs off a LX450:
20.25" Blue Yellow White 8.75 wraps
19.5" Green Yellow White 8.25 wraps

I can't decide which set to go with in the rear. I've read/heard the LX set is softer and will give a better ride. I don't have any extra weight right now and I don't tow anything so I'm not really worried about it sagging from weight.

Has anybody compared the two? I've got a set of rancho rs5000 shocks that I got with one set of springs off the FJ. I'll probably be putting those on initially since I have them. I may change them out later.

All that said, if you were to choose which would you pick and why?

If it matters, I'll be lifting 3 inches in the front just haven't decided which route to take yet.

Doc.

Nobody?

Should be pretty similar either way you'll have rake once you lift the front unless you stick a bumper on the back. I've had 7.5 and 9 wraps on my truck and have ridden in one with lx coils. No discern able difference besides the ride height.

I'm looking for a pair of 7.5 wraps! If you use the LX coils ill buy your LC coils off you. If your interested do you mind posting a pic so I can see the color codes. Feel free to PM me if you want to pursue the sale.

I'll let you know after I lift which is a little way off right now. I've still gotta get my front lift parts pieced together.

Your in denver right? Go drop by Slee offroad in Golden, they sell takeout LC coils from the trucks they build.

 

[Illestreker]

Yeah I live just outside Golden. I plan on stopping by there this weekend but, I'm thinking they don't have a whole lot to choose from.. but maybe i'm wrong?

 

[TCMach]

I know they build a lot of cruisers. Last time I talked to them they said they had takeouts for sale. It's been a while though. I ended up getting my 9 wraps through Irbis Offroad so I never actually went to Slee

Those LX coils will give you 4.5 - 5" of rear lift with stock weight (spare tire and trailer hitch). But I'll second there isn't much of a difference in how they ride compared to the LC coils.
