Quick questions. My lift setup is sagging in the front so I am going to upgrade the springs. I have a ARB bumper with 8k smittybilt winch. Should I go with the medium or heavy terra firma springs? The medium need 50kg of weight to be effective and the heavy need 100kg of weight. Let me know your thoughts. I figure my bumper is probably around 150lbs and winch in the 65-85 range. All a guess. I off road the truck it is not my daily and yes front driveshaft and suspension components are upgraded along with steel break lines. Thanks!

 

100kg is ~220 lbs, so you're definitely in heavy territory.

 

I was able to get the math down I just didn't know the specifics on the bumper/winch combo or if anyone has experience with this spring set up. I just don't want to jepordize anything on the trail with this setup being incorrect for the front end weight.

 

I have to same setup but with a three pound lighter winch. My MD TF Springs sag. Go heavy.

In fact I emailed RTE a few days ago and they have front HD sets. Most places want you to buy a complete set of four. I was going to call anyway and order a set so I'll let you know what to cost is.

I was asking about +3 Springs. I don't know what your lift is.

 

I'm at +2 currently. What was RTE going to charge you for a front set? I've heard great things about those springs. I would keep it at the +2 heavy

 

I didn't get to call today. Work intervened. But it is on my list for tomorrow.

I have over three inches of lift now and after originally posting here I checked other threads on RTE springs. They are tall and I do not want to go any higher than my current intended height so I will ask them and report back. I have spring spacers so I can always take them out, because I definitely don't want to traumatize my driveshaft any further, nor ruin my caster any more.

If I can remember I ask about the plus 2s too.

 

I actually emailed them and they had a used set for of +2 for $175 and a new set for $225.

I may just go terrafirma for almost $100 less...

 

Wow no kidding. That's 'spensive for springs. Maybe I will too!

I don't think I'd buy used ones. No, I'm sure. I wouldn't buy used ones.

However, I'm going to have two TF MD +3 used front springs for sale soon.

 

Be sure to clarify you have a D2 with them. Their normal +2" are for D1/RRC/D90 and will really be +3" on a D2

 

Mind if I jump in?
I have a 2002 D2 with stock suspension (original). I plan on doing the Terrafirma 2" lift. But, I am also adding a custom front bumper (no winch) that will likely be close to 100lbs. Anything special I need to do with regard to front springs and suspension for the bumper weight? I don't offroad or do wheeling. Mostly city trips and plan light offroad use.
