Thread: suspension stuff, ultra flexi coils fitted

hally, thanks mate. I do have the 3.9 Isuzu and I think they are about 380kg, the spring height loaded is 365mm and 500mm free height.



LowRanger, ha that sounds good for a two inch lift man.

I surpose it depends on what you use as standard heights and where you measure from, On the front I measure from the rear side of the mount on the axle housing as this would be the first part to touch due to the slope.

Have you got longer bump stops in the rear, because if I had 150 in the rear it would look like it was dragging it's bum. Do you remember what the free heights of the coils where. Cheers Wayne.

Cheers for the info Lambrover I just measured mine bloody hell it was a 2" lift and it now measures 310mm loaded think ill be ordering a set very soon

ha Hally you live in brissy area don't you?

I am down there for christmas and most of Jan, got a couple of guys meeting at cruiser park for a couple of days. If you or any one is around post where you live and when you would be available, can try and go for a trip

gota test pic of the flexys at work

I took it put but got no photos sorry mate, it flexes like I wanted I was worried about loosing up travel due to being to stiff but they have done a bloody good job and lost no up travel even thought I have gained height so very happy. I need to retain the rear coils then I will post pics

Funny,because mine sits level with the bumpstop clearances as it is.And I also measured from the closest point of contact.
I can't remember what the free height of the coils were anymore,and my bumpstops are standard height.I have replaced upper shock mounts F&R to allow me to keep my standard bumpstops.

Ha man that is wierd, Hally asked for the loaded spring heights of mine so this might help, from an earlier post I have got 365mm loaded spring height.

If it comes up similar heights they may have not allowed for all my extras on the car, I would love to see a rear compression photo, how much tuck the wheel gets.

How long you had your coils for, you did a post from memory and it looked quite high.

I ordered them quite a few months ago,but it took over 2 months for me to get them But that is another story.
I only got them fitted in September,had them sitting around,but work commitments kept me from finding the time to fit them.

I will try over the next couple of days to get a pic of the rear flexed.Only prob I have is that with my standard wheels on,that I use everyday,the tyre rubs on the rear spring tower on articulation.
