For unladen mass the figures are-
Front 525mm
Rear 563mm

The other place to look for the equivilent a indication of travel is the RVD, the different between height at full bump and height at unladen mass.

Front - 96mm
Rear - 132mm

Not far off the manual/figures Seacomms has..

We stock the Flexy coils also, in all 15mm increments so that way we can change coils in and out to suit the vehicle they are actally going into . There are so many variables to 'vehicle VS vehicle' (mainly referring to JKs) so we make sure we've got all the different versions on hand for quick change outs.

Flexy coils are the bizz for JK's wanting wheel travel whilst keeping them trapped. More of a flex coil than a load carrying coil.

Bit the bullet and got some flexy coils this arvo, was waiting for people to get back to me for prices etc but they didnt so got them off Shane
Should get them this week and put them on next week

Im Dam happy with the Coils i have now, even though its the second set Front and Rear before we got it right. SS are coming out with new shocks soon and i'll probably give them a go, but i want long travel.

I got them fron states they are 27.56" extended and 16.41" compressed 11.15" travel, the ones I have on front now are 24.63" extended and 14.98" compreseed

The joys of australian made from australian steel when the particular product isn't subsidised by the government. Plus the manufacturing process for these coils is somewhat unique (at least for the JK).




As for the thread.

Getting the lift heights right for the JKs is an absolute prick particularly when you want to be specific about it. There's just so many damn options and configurations available. Unless they're totally stock standard nearly no JK has the same weight or even weight distribution. Compare this to say a Landcruiser or a Patrol which have a very captured market for aftermarket add-ons so there's very little variation in the weight configuration.

Best bet is to work with either provider and supply the most accurate and clear description of the accessories you have fitted to the vehicle.

Better yet, fit everything you want before fitting suspension. Or else you'll be back on here whinging that your ride height isn't what you wanted.
