LC color codes

[Forrrrest]

Does anybody know if the color codes change from manufacturer to manufacturer? I've noticed that the majority of people get some used oem lc coils and all have the relatively same color codes for 7s, or 8s, and 9 wraps. But I have decided to get brand new oem ones and have not yet came across this specific color code. Now let me tell you I did my research and these coils sit at

Drivers side 19.5"
Color code green, Orange, white,

Passenger 18.7"
Color code double purple, grey, white
Seems like 8 wraps possibly 7 1/2

Is anybody running these specific color coded coils?
Or is the manufacturer just vague on there consistency of codes?
These are the FRONTS off of a 94 fj80

I had double purple grey whites for a while. Technically they are double pink grey white as per the lift sticky but they sure looked purple to me. Do they look like this? Sorry for the pic. Its the only one I have showing the color code.

If so then yes these are 7.5 wraps.

The other ones could be a green yellow white. That would make them an 8.25 wrap and they would measure 19.5". The colors on these coils seem to be more like "could be pink" instead of "pink".

I might be telling you info you already have but mine are slightly different than the FAQs

FAQs state:

19.25" Double Purple Dark Blue White 8 wraps
19" Double Pink Light Blue White 7.5 wraps

Mine are off a 94 and are

18 7/8" Double Purple Dark Blue White 8 wraps (measured very accurately)
18" Double Pink Light Blue White 7.5 wraps (measured very accurately)

I think the double colors as described as pink and purple are the same color. The info in the FAQs is a collection of data from different forum members with a possibility of one member saying the color is pink with the other saying it is purple.

I'm saying this because one of your springs appears to be in the FAQs labeled as a "Double pink, grey, white. Although I don't see anything that could be interpreted as a Green, Orange, White.


Edit*** As TC Mach stated above. Your Green, Orange, White are probably the Green, Yellow, White.

Tcmach, were those used coils? Mine seem to be opposite of yours the double purple is on the passenger side (shorter coil) I work parts for a dealer and all of the 93-97 coils superceeded to what I've bought. The measurements posted above were per TMP postings. I just pulled out my tape measure annnnnnd

Passenger 18.7"

Driver 19.2"

[MENTION=56109]cj80cruiser[/MENTION] you seem to know a good bit about the LC springs. Is there any particular place you find them for a good place in your area? I'm from Gadsden, about an hour north of Bham, and may be looking into getting some 7 wraps. I know you can get them for a lot cheaper than the $100 price tags you see on here and was just wondering if you scavenge junk yards or what? Thanks!

They were new OEM coils which I got with my SS kit. Also both of the coils I was running in that shot were double purple grey white. I never had a problem with drivers side lean somehow, if I remember correctly the two sides were less than a half inch apart.

Hmmm that's interesting that they both had the same color code. Any of the springs that I see all day have to separate color codes for each spring. I'm still wondering what kind of lift I will get with these. But that will have to wait untill I get my front parts. Did you happen to measure your coils before you put them in?

I didn't before but I measured them after I took them out when I sold them. They sat around 18.6". Do you have any rear weight? Bumper, cargo boxes, etc?

 

[Forrrrest]

No not yet only a 12" but I have a roll bar to put in. And I've been debating about a sleeping platform

 

[TCMach]

I'm gonna throw out a number of 23-24" hub to fender on the rear. If I remember correctly mine sat around 23" but I have a plate rear.
