sas springs?

[83blackbandit]

i have a question about the springs im going to use in my solid axle ranger. its a full size hp d44 and i have skyjacker 6" lift ranger springs. i have heard that you shouldnt use rbv springs on a solid axle swap. but why shouldnt you use those springs while doing the swap?

the ttb coils are to stiff

i work at an auto parts store and i just checked the sprig rate on the ranger springs which is a 377 and an f150 spring which is a 271, does that mean the f150 springs will be a softer ride but they a capable of carrying more weight?

Most ttb coils are in the range of 450-500 lbs/in.

I would say check the load rating as well as ppi. I'm guessing that the same load rating and a lighter ppi is what you'd want.

Im running the ttb springs with an eb44 and it drives fine down the road and doesnt seem any stiffer of a ride on the street but i can tell using a floor jack that you wont get any flex out of them.

TTB = nutcracker

TTB does suck, hit a pothole the other day and it was like getting my teeth busted out, no flex or give of any kind from the TTB.

 

[4x4junkie]

Yeah, because certainly it's not those stiff POS coils that suck...

 

[dangerranger83]

Well now the side that hit the pothole is leaning down 2 inches. And why invest money into my POS D28 that all the u-joints are shot and now it has a mistory lean going on.

what are the specs on your truck?

We all know TTB gives you a stiffy....
