Old Man Emu Coil Springs -- EE -- Expedition Exchange Incorporated go here, scroll down


On a side note I am going to pick up a set of 5" RTE's this weekend if anybody wants to call dibs on my less than 6 month old Terrafirma HD's

 

Thanks for the input guys.
It is duelly noted.

 

Dibs, PM me on price.

 

PM sent, thanks

 

Picked up 5" RTE's today. Hopefully the extra 50lb rating will help a little body roll until I can install long travel sways. The rears are the older ones and may need a small spacer to make it sit dead even. We shall see Here's a pic compared to RTE HD 2" coils

 

I just bought some TF MD for my rig, and I was wondering if they would be too soft. I dont have too many upgrades, but maybe later when I get an ARB front bumper and winch, I will upgrade to some HDs

 

You know, it will all depend on the constant load. The MED springs are good springs no doubt. From driving more by myself, unloaded, the springs become a little bouncy in the rear. Nothing at all to complain about, It is just my driving style that introduces these little issues. For a daily ride, it is perfect. Fully loaded, it rides as smooth as can be......a really nice, comfortable too.

My complaint was more inline of height and wheel arch issues. I was wheeling with a full load of passengers and gear, from bikes to filling up my roof rack. Oddly, when both sides of the rear compress, the rear right tire touches the lip of the arch.....which cut a few lugs....but when unloaded and when it does side to side articulation....no touching at all....????

To sum it up...you will not go wrong with those springs. If you go wheeling, just pay attention to the sway bars. I found you can bind up the stock rear pretty easily....when articulating.....

 

You are running oversized tires, so do you think it is totally conceivable that a guy running OEM sized tires will not have this problem?
I'm asking because I dont know.

 

Yes tire size doesnt matter at all. Shock travel length has the most to do with it. Shock out travels sway bar and the tension made the link flop to the wrong side some how.

Obviously the rubbing of the oversized tires has to do with the rubbing as does where the bump stops are located, rim offset, and obviously spring rate.
