So the 1.5" preload collar only gave you a 0.5" lift? That's weird.
I thought by changing where the spring is mounted, the lift amount will be precisely 1.5".
Hey I'm in the same boat. Dobinson rear springs gave me more lift than claimed even with the correct static load. The front also sagged a bit (<1") with my load, ending up with a 2.5" rake. Did you end up installing the Westcott collar or did you end up with something else?
It is my...
👍👍👍 Your truck is completely level
I'm still debating if I want to lift the front or swap out my 823s. I carry more weight on my receiver hitch. If 821s level out the truck for you, they might be a tad too soft for me.
It would help so much if you can measure both front and rear! 🙏
They have settled exactly 1/2" on both sides.
After driving 500 miles and some light offroading, I do think the 823 is the correct spring rate for my load. The rear feels plush, less bouncy, and articulates nicely. I just don't...
I think top mount spacers (eg Peak Suspension spacer) won't affect how springs and shocks perform. They affect CV and control arm's operating angle, but I haven't heard anyone blow their CV due to 1" lift.
Heavier springs make sense if I have a front bumper and winch installed. Without weight...
My goal was to lift the rear and level the truck after adding a bunch of weight, maybe with a tiny bit of rake. Stock springs were sagging pretty bad.
After talking with Dobinsons, they recommended C59-823V. Here is what they told me:
Which means I should get ~1.25" of lift, pretty close to...
Yes, two SL ebikes. AFAIK, the most common failure point for this kind of application is the u bolt on the latch mechanism from long drives on washboard roads. I've also seen people ratchet strap the accessory hitch to the roof / bedrack to mitigate oscillation.
I would consider more...
I have a 47lbs bike rack and 90lbs of bikes. I've been avoiding bringing bikes to off-roading trips. Your swing out solves the departure angle issue and is convenient - but is 137lbs total weight too much?
Today I received and installed the Rig'd RambleSwing on my Trailhunter. The swing out was ordered 9 weeks ago.
I've researched every popular swing out option and decided on the RamblerSwing for two reasons:
1. At max insertion depth, it has a relatively short overall length at 11" . Rockymounts...
