Small update, got some 900# springs, even better than the 800#'s less overall bounce, and a firmer ride but still not overly harsh, a good balance.

After 3,600 miles everything is still holding up good





The bottom mount



And the top

 

Which brand springs?

Looks pretty good after 3600... I know I've destroyed several sets of qa1 and other upper bushings, glad to see the Ridetech ball type is still looking decent!

 

Same Hyperco springs, still 10"

 

what are your compressed shock measurement? im running the 4.1 shock with an 8" 1200# spring on a rcsb and im still 11 in/lbs from ideal spring rate.

 

Do you mean at ride hight?, or overall shock specs, I have the 4.1" shock too.

 

yea at ride height. how much of the 4.1" of travel are you using with a 900lb spring?

 

I'll have to double check, I was somewhere around 13" before, I should be able to check at work tomorrow.

 

starting to wish I had researched more. My ride is much better than it was before, but still harsh on rough patches. I raised it up to around 5", maybe 4.5" and then it settled back down on me. I'm almost at the point of just putting my stock spindles on until I get tubbed up front.

I'm wishing I had bought the 4.1 with 10", seems you are enjoying yours more. I contacted ridetech, but they know very little about the swap (you would think they would be watching this more) and was asking them about the significance between to two lengths of both the spring and shock. It's far too expensive to try over unfortunately!

 

Ya it took me a couple months of reading and measuring before I pulled the trigger on these.

I had to raise mine up a little too, on hard/banked turns it will rub, just not as bad now. I'm thinking about just mini tubbing it for now.

It measured out to just under 13"

 

I need to mini at minimum, but I want to go ahead and fully tub it. Still haven't taken care of it since the wreck, I have a hard time trusting people after all that! I still haven't seen a dime of my money, and the owner of that shop has not contacted me, and split town.
