GJarret had 800lb springs, with that huge *** front bumper (on an explorer) and he said it was harsh for a couple thousand miles (or a couple couple thousand kilometers :P ) and then one day he realised that they had broken in to be just perfect. In my notes I have put down 800 lb springs for my truck as well. Gerald has/had a LOT of stuff on that truck, so if you dont, you might want to consider 750's.. but a lot of people said they felt too soft after awhile..

 

well, i have Chad's old kit that he sold to JT, or Turdle, , he had the 347 over them and said they were too soft for the v8, , but they seem okay, just a bit harsh, maybe that will change,i have a thread at E F, ,

 

Yes, a 2.5" I.D. coil spring will work. And, if you have a Superlift, then you need a 12" long 2.5" I.D. coil spring with a 2.0" X 6.0" coil-over. Nick can answer what spring length you need if you have a stock suspension as I am not sure.

 

INH,
JGarret now says he spoke too soon. For a non lifted rig. He recommends the 12"x2.5"x750# springs over a 15"x2.0 shock. The 800# never broke in enough.

The OP has the info needed as well. Lots of "Experienced", "Time Tested", "Knowledgeable" Info on this thread. Not to slam anyone, but the guys who don't have much time on their kits really should listen to the more experienced Veterans who have got the miles, and time under their belts.

 

Ah I see that now, he just posted that very recently, thanks for the heads up =] 750's it is. Where is my financial manager when I need her? I have a purchase request to submit..

 

Our kit is provided with step by step detailed instructions. To answer your question about the gussets, they should be welded by a certified welder or at least by some one that knows what they are doing. The gussets are positioned when the shock installed to mark their location, making sure to leave enough clearance for the shock and the shock spanner wrench and then fully welded with the shock removed. As for the mounts they are located by existing holes and only require some drilling.

 

Don't have a cost on only the lower mounts. send me a PM and I'll get back to you on this.

 

Nick, do you have any pics of this kit installed on a stock truck, or anyone else for that matter. Also I can't seem to get the kit to come up on the ORW website. Anyone have a link to it?

 

I don't have any pictures of one installed I'll do my best in getting some next time we install one. The kit is not on the site yet, working on launching a new web page in the mean time if your interested in purchasing the kit just send me a PM message.

 

2.0" X 15.0" coil-over for a stock suspension? Maybe I don't understand what you mean, but I have a Superlift and used a 2.0" X 6.0".

Is this directed toward me? There's not many in this thread who have helped answer questions.

 

Sorry, 15" shock extended length is what I was referring to INH. He was reading a different thread from a different forum. Only he understood what I was talking about. Since INH is overseas in Iraq, in the Army, it was easier for me to just cut to the chase for him to understand instantly. Sorry for any confusion on this thread.

As far as directing that comment at you personally...............NO, it was not directed at you, but to any future person in general. I can see this thread going many pages. Wisdom comes from experience, and these fellows that have that wisdom should be given props for their knowledge.

 

Okay, I see now.

No sweat, just wondered.

 

I just ordered my kit!!! Cant wait to get it!!! Nick from ORW was awesome too, he was a ton of help. If anyone else is gonna get the kit give Nick a call!! Great Customer Service!

 

Question for ORW (it was asked once in this thread but not answered):

Do you have any plans to fabricate/build lower A-arm drop brackets?

 

No plans on building a lower sub drop for the lower control arms, sorry guys.

 

I'm planning on running this with a camburg upper arm and spindle, but i want to keep a relatively low ride hieght with 33's... any suggestions as far as spring size and rate? i want to still have as much travel as i can and i will be running fiberglass. Truck will be mainly daily driven but also dezert and trails.

 

This kit would be a great upgrade to your camburg UCA and spindle. make sure to order our coil-over kit #759-9009k this will work the best with your set up.

 

Holy Crap! OMFG! This is a great thing, I can't find it on your site. If/When... When... I buy myself a Ranger this will be the first thing I buy! Wo0t!

 

what are the specs on that one?

and can you PM me prices on other coilover options if there is any?

thank you so much for your response!

FOX 2.0 emulsion coil-over kit complete $650
FOX 2.0 Remote reservoir kit complete $750


additional items to purchase are the limit strap kit, alignment cam/bolt kit and rear options.

 

i wish there was a kit for us ttb guys

 

I put together a performance off road kit for you ttb guys here's the thread:
https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...ad-system.html

 

So the system is ajustable from 0"-2", 0" being equivelent to stock height with torsion bars cranked to even the front with the back, or 0" = stock height with front lower than the rear? I guess what I am getting at is this actually a 2" lift or just 2" to get the truck level front to back?

 

This kit is adjustable to level the front of the truck with the back equivalent to cranking the torsion bars. The major benefits to installing coil-overs is the adjustability and the difference in the performance on road and off road. The brackets can also be used on a SuperLift 3-4" kit as well to convert to coil-over's, as well as, gain some adjustable height but you will need to use a longer travel shock.

 

Ranger coil-over remote reservoir shocks. ADD $100 to the kit price.
