What did you buy today

[Plasnart]

I went thru the selection process today with Dobinsons for a new set of rear coils. I am sitting 12-15mm down at the rear with empty tanks and unloaded, and want to get rid of the airbags. I gave them the loads on front and rear and the preferred lift above standard - 50mm, and it spat out a couple of options right up to military rated coils - very impressive. I have decided to go with a set of 250-400kg variable coils with 100mm lift, should result in a lift of 30mm above what i have now and the truck will sit nice and unremarkable to PLOD. They are C45-315T coils, 22mm dia wire, pick up monday.

Good to hear someone else espousing properly rated coils over chucking in airbags. Your chassis will thank you.
Let tougher variable-rate springs do their thing via that torsion effect.
Don’t transfer direct load to the chassis through air bag-stiffened springs.
Won’t see your chassis broken in half down the track.
Install spring tower braces too as best practice.
Happy travels.
