    Post Loss of articulation

    Hey guys,

    I took my rangie out 4wding today and i noticed im not getting near as much articulation as i did when i had my air bags in....scratch that im not getting any at all ?

    what are the possible reasons for this?

    (for anyone that doesnt know i have a spring conversion with a 2" lift)

    p.s i havnt changed my shocks from standard could this be contributing to this??

    thanks guys

    If you're running the same dampers (shock absorbers), then you must have very high rate springs fitted (as in heavy duty).

    "im not getting near as much articulation as i did when i had my air bags in"

    You've hit the nail right on the head there.

    If you had good articulation with the airbags and now you have poor articulation with coil springs and all that has been changed is the springs then....



    clearly your coil springs are limiting the articulation.

    What is to explain?

    ok that is probably my fault for the way i worded it. I know it is my coil springs to blame but i want to know "why" i have lost articulation, or maybe i have gotten articulation mixed up with something else.

    this is the best way i can explain it.

    when i park on a hill and the car is on an angle normally the the wheels on the slant will level out. Now when i park on the same hill the wheels stay on an angle giving me less tire on the hill.

    is that articulation?

    thanks

    they are Arnott's spring conversion and shocks are the stock ones that came with the car. I have 2" spacers also from Arnott's

    Thanks
