GQ Spring rates

[spoty_4]

Hi Team

I am planning on a 2" lift with EFS springs and shocks. Are you guys able to advise me on what spring rate I should go for on the front and back? and are progressive springs worth it?

60% of the time its on the road as a car
15% towing (around 2.5ton)
15% medium - light off road
10% fully loaded with people and gear (probably around 350-400kg)

Also would 33" tyres fit? if so what offset would they have to be (landcruiser -23 ??)

Thanks

For the front if you have a standard bumper or alloy bullbar you could choose light or medium springs. If you have a steel bullbar then medium springs, steel bullbar with winch then medium or heavy springs.
Rear I would think a medium rate with poly airbags. Airbags work well in situations like this where heavy loads are only carried intermittantly.

33" tyres should fit but may scrape a bit, not sure about which wheel offsets work best. You may need to fit front radius arm spacers to give the front tyres a bit more clearance.

Thanks Tony,

Could you be a little bit more specific as to what "medium" and" heavy" mean, i.e spring rates in pounds per inch?

[YNOT]

Most spring manufactures sell springs under the "light, medium, heavy" ratings, the actual pounds per inch specs will vary from one manufacture to the next and I don't know what they are.
