Dobinsons 60mm springs (4 door rear gives it an extra 10mm lift) Skyjacker 25inch extended shocks, Maxxis 285/70 17







I need to add bump stops as the tyre just touches the spring seat

As I'm in the Suzuki 4WD Club, it was a funkana event this weekend, and just for shits and giggles, I converted the jeep to a suzuki....

I also think that the coils just bind a bit. I have the same coils and they get really close together. I think they really need an extra 50mm of bumpstop and could easily handle a 28" shock as they are no way near stretched out when at full droop with similar length shocks.

Wally, have you got a shot of it sitting level? And whats your wheel center to guard height when level? Interested in those springs as I believe they are a lot softer than the Mopar ones...

Default Dobinsons

Hi Secoms, I have the specs,as i did a bit of recearch before buying coils. Although I do believe that the coil rates do not mean that much. I had OME's rated at 135pds/in, then swapped for PP which are firmer and 155pds/in, however the PP's are much softer, u can feel it just by leaning on the bumper.
The Dobinsons are 231pd/in in the front, and 246pds/in in the rear. The lovells are 210 front and 235 rear. Both are pretty short though so I am surprised you can use such a long shock.
These are 4 door crd specs - oops?
