Spring dislocation cones

[Badger1]

Hmmm, with no shock in at all on my D1, and letting the supension droop until it was at full travel the spring didn't unseat. Like I said though the garage testing is one thing and the trail is quite another.

The next time someone does this setup, I wouldn't mind seeing some pics posted up of the gains....before and after, same camera angle, same obsticle. On an already lifted truck, then the same truck with cones. Just can't see there being a decent enough gain to warrant the cones, with the way the LR's have their front suspension designed. The rear is a different story though(sticking with retained though, unless you would like to let me try out some cones 5speed? ).

oooh I know what is the difference is. your using BB springs in the front. so you may not pop out with the stock panhard bar in place. With this set up the cones would just be bling in my opinion.



with the long springs i have in the front I did not need cones. But this is close to my max flex in the front. believe me the disco will flex for you with the right bits.

in the rear you need some duck feet and the to lower your shocks and then the cones. I would be more then happy to let you try a set if you let me try your Credit Card

Oh I know, I should have listened to the powers that be on all the forums about the BB's & PC's....live and learn. Trust me if money was no option I would buy the complete setup from you, but with my newborn son here now..... He comes first.

Sorry about the hijacked thread btw.

How are you fitting such a wide tire Justin? I've looked at the Pitbulls but they are so "Jeep", big and Wide.

[fivespddisco]

i have the fenders cut and my rims have a good offset. the reason i went so wide is to help with flotation on these big heave trucks. the tires are 37 x 13.5

Just jacking the car up and letting the axle drop is different than having one wheel stuffed and the other wheel dropping. Your tire will drop lower with the opposite wheel being pushed up. That's where retainers come in.

Fivespeed, you appear to make comments to try and sell your stuff and then you go and post a photo that shows a disco with little or no flex.

I am curious as to what Jeep have done in their front suspension compared to Rovers. Jeeps have waaay more flex in the front than LR's, but then Rovers have more in the rear suspension.

Anyone know?

Instead of being nasty just ask to see another pic. and remember the tires are 37s witch sit on the truck at 35.25 not 32 that air down to 26 like you have.

But ill let you have another pic any way.

Why do you keep on posting pictures that show no articulation, only that your rear axle can drop with no benefit. When you start talking about lowering shock mounts, I know that you are not serious.

But your photos will impress those that do not know any better and you will sell your various bits.

you dont know what your talking about. you have proven that time and time again.

So what is it that you want to see ? a pic of the duck feet? or my extended shock mount?

what is good travel to you? should i just take the rear axle off ?

Look at the front. No movement. Anyone can get the arse to fall out. This does nothing for it offroad.

You have proven time and time again that you are only interested in selling parts and the only off-road photos you seem to post is your disco parked on a wreck.

I would not go in your vehicle on anything past the carpark.

Why your continue to push your gear on this forum, I will continue to tell people how it serves no purpose, can make the vehicle worse off-road, and is basically a waste of money. But then there will be others that think that it looks great and they will buy it. But at least they were warned.
