Need some Coilover help

[jstim]

I have the Radflo 2.0 coilovers from the ss 1.2 kit. I'm really wanting to order the front and rear bumper for my rig with a full set of skids. Here's the question, is it possible to do a quick cheap upgrade to the springs for those coils? If I order all three I can't order the ads coils, but if I don't order all three I won't get the gb price on the bumpers

I got icons and then later I got a winch bumper and just added UCA's. I'm looking at getting heavier springs too but I'm not building a rig to corner fast with so I trade off body roll for flex. I can't justify the cost to get springs and the extended length shock when I can sell mine and wait for another GB and purchase the setup I want.

The way I look at it is get the good group by deal on the parts and see what happens after you put them on. Lots of people add armor/weight and don't upgrade springs. Also, if you want flex in the front it's harder to compress a heavier spring (although it's kinda offset by the weight of the front bumper but...). Get the armor and then see what you need to offset the weight or do nothing and enjoy it. Or sell it and buy an 80's series land cruiser.

Thought about selling it, but then realized it would make me sad. It's just messed up, my radflos aren't going to be able to take that weight. I may just wait like you suggest, and throw the ads coilovers on after I get it all. My biggest concern is the weight, and how junky the fronts already feel.

I hear ya. Build it right the first time is great to say but budget dependent. Buy the armor in the cheap and get some better shocks next group buy. I pulled some money from somewhere to get the set up I got rather than upgrade a boss system or SS kit later.

At some point I will sell these extra almost new tires and the radflos and just get the ads I want. I have read the Radflo is a little better under weight. But I'm still up to suggestions.
