Spring relocation cone question

**86mud** · 3rd March 2010, 08:19 AM

Hi all

I am planning for new suspension and am looking at going max flex in the rear. I would like to install spring relocation cones, but not sure if the 130 is the same as the 110.

I see paddocks etc advertise cones for 110's but not 130's. will they fit both?

Cheers

Andrew

Check with psimpson7 on here as he's making relocation cones... bloody nice ones too

I've got them on my 110... though the 130 has the helper spring in the rear so not sure how that'd work... how much weight do you carry in the back? Do you need the extra spring?

I have sent Psimpson an email.

No inner spring. The truck just carries camping gear.

I currently have EFS springs and shocks (rubbish) which I am replacing with Dobinson springs and Bilstein shocks.

Cheers

Do relocation cones affect rego / legality at all in NSW? Do you need an engineers cert?

as far as I'm aware NO because while the car is on road it does nothing.

As the spring is not tied in at the top anyway I guess you could argue it is a safety feature should you spring ever get unseated

Legally, dislocation of the springs is not permitted. Normally the shockies limit axle droop before the spring can dislocate.

I have EFS on my Disco and it flexes pretty good in the rear.

When I first picked the truck from the previous owner, they told me the efs kit was fairly new.

During the sale I noticed that the car leaned to the left quite a bit and I just thought the spring had settled.

After purchase I pulled out the back springs out to find that the passenger side was 25mm shorter than the drivers side. This made the truck lean to the left.

So off I go to the place the previous owner had the suspension installed...and after a few minutes the arguement turned heated and I stormed off. They wouldn't honour their warrenty and kept saying the drivers side spring is longer to compensate the weight of the driver, fuel and batteries. I argued that I only weight 80kgs and the batteries are on the left and the fuel tank is in the middle.

To cut a long story short, I just made up a steel spacer to get me out of trouble until I could afford to upgrade....which is now.

Cheers

I'm well known to be wrong, but shouldn't the passenger side spring be longer than the drivers side to account for the camber in the road?
