Cabz Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 OK I have had enough of these garbage rustys coils :evil: damn MJ leans to one side and it's makin me crazy. does anyone know who makes the stiffest/ highest rate front coils? rustys are 150lb rate but with the warn winch bumper and winch the coils have sagged to about 3" of lift instead of the 4.5" they are supposed to be and the DS has sagged another 1" past the pass side I am thinking I might have to run a 6.5" coil to keep the MJ at 4.5 with the weight up front any ideas?

BLHTAZ Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Carmine...I have no help for you as far as technical data on spring rate, but I can't resist saying that I can't believe yo uare still dealing with that Rusty's crap after all you have been through :eek: Check with Adam at Motion Offraod or Tom at Hell Creek Suspensions... :idea: Personally...I am real happy with my RE coils :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I figure do the reaserch now and fix it after the first of the year. I realy don't wan to have to fight with it again so I wanna make sure I get the right springs. It seems the LWB MJ has a tendancy to sag to one side since the gas tank is on the DS and I usualy ride by myself and take into account the warn bumper and winch together weigh about 250lb+ I am gonna need a strong set o coils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 fyi, rusty doesnt make the coils. (and another fyi, i HATE Rustys so I'm not sticking up for him). i have his 6.5in coils and a winch and they still lifted it 6.5 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the warn winch bumper which is way damn heavy it's gotta be around 200lbs by itself . thats one of the reasons why the crustys springs are now about dead.

89eliminator Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'm fairly certain that Rustys, RE, RC...all get their coils from the same manufacturer. i have a custom bumper that probably weighs 100 pounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 With a heavy bumper you should have ordered the 180 pound coils (of course, I assume they still sell them). I've got Rusty's 3" 180# coils and they've held up pretty good (aside from the fact that they are as rusty as my Rusty's trackbar mount :shake: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWLONGSHOT Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 OME springs i heard are decent They are, but sadly not avalible for any substantial amount of lift... I swapped in BDS coils and LOVE THEM!!! Avalible in 4.5 and 6.5" . MUCH better, firmer and more positive ride. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vzehler Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Another option would be a set of adjustable coil spacers. I don't know what your financial stand on this subject is, but, they are a little pricey. The bright side is that you can adjust them according to any changes you may have with no need to buy another set of coils... Plus you get to keep the lighter coil rate for a softer ride... just my 2 cents :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
