would this work??

[jasonsxj]

Coilover shocks allow the suspension to flex too much for the unibody to handle. Better to just swap in some leaf springs all around and call it good.

:dunno: :badpc: :looser:

Now I'm really confused too. All the people who are posting are the people who know their stuff, but your all saying different things!

 

[xcm]

Damn that brings back some memories. Bill doesn't know anymore now than he did then.

I really don't see how anyone for the swamps of Louisiana has the ability to provide any input. You have your opinion, I'll give you that, but it's wrong.

go back to your cave, troll.

in your opinion, coilovers have cooling coils... so your opinion is worth ZERO.
MAYBE if you'd read it the first time, you'd know more then you THINK you know


cooling coils, for the fail!

Exactly. ^^^ lol

Cooling coils are a matter of fact. I run them on my rig & swear by them. I keep a liquid nitro bottle in the tow rig to refill them after every run. You, sir, is the one that FAILS!!!

So you read BillaVista's tech articles and are now the internet knowledge base? Good for you.

When you get a set and get them mounted with less than 12" of lift we can discuss this further. There are several people on this thread that are running them and they know I'm right. That's all that matters to me.

If you guys are looking for budget coilovers just unbolt your shock and remove your upper bumpstop. Then just jam your shock up in there and BOOYA! oem coilovers...

I just went outside and did the above mentioned modification and you're right, instant 12" of lift.

I agree.
Big fail, or maybe just denser than wood? :dunce:

 

[dgrigorenko]

holy crap... however funny it may be, this thread has turned ridiculous and you guys have officially confused a few people.

to the OP: do some searching, yes it is possible, and it wont be instant 12-14" of lift. lol

This is almost the best advice on this thread.

However, everyone knows that you can not run coil overs without some sort of axle locator; this is where leaf springs come in.

It's the first hybrid suspension, and really gets you the best of both worlds.

Does it give you better mileage, too?

It should if it's a hybrid.

and where should a 3/4 eliptical factor in?

 

[Begster]

and where should a 3/4 eliptical factor in?

Right side suspension only, to counteract the engine torque.

 

[MoparManiac]

Yeah you don't need it on the driver's side because you can't use reverse with coilovers or else they bind.

 

[themangeraaad]

What about if you are running a turbo encabulator? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXW0bx_Ooq4 Would that help out at all?

 

[Goatman]

sinse it seems we have people present who dont even know how coilovers work...

i beg you lincoln, go read it.

This thread has seriously derailed.
The OP probably thinks we're all crazy.


Oh well.... :cheers:

You guys got hooked like big fish. This thread has been totally derailed from the very beginning.

:cheers:

 

[Goatman]

Great job guys, this is some seriously funny shit.
