so, my front end is sagging... 7.5" RE coils or the JKS ACOS system? I guess the 4.5"ers sagged... kind of upset with the durability of my kit.. the arms are really noisey now, I think due to bushings being worn. They keep their shape but they squish too much?

my RE 4.5s which i bought in 05 havnt sagged 1/4" past what they were when i bought em, and i have had an 80 pound bumper on the front since last summer. how the hell is yours sagged in 6 months? either way 7.5" coils are astronomically too large, and ACOS are a fortune. just get some poly spacers if you need em. either way we know you dont need 4.5" to run 33s  im actually not sure ive ever heard of RE coils sagging ever....  |

that's why I'm pissed. ACOS price is reasonable to me. I remember the wheel well being so much higher from the tire when the lift first got on.
the only thing that's changed is TNT bumper which doesn't weigh but 65lbs!
Edit: Next Tire WILL be 35" TSL since I will have 1ton to control them by the time I need them

7.5" coils are for pussy's
go skyjacker 10" if you want to flex out those 33's to their potential

28" was the best measurement i could get in the dark with one person, eyeballing center. from center of wheel, axle, to that ridge line on the fender

i have heard with the ACOS system you should forget about adjusting it after you set it because it corrodes and seems to freeze up. Thats what ive heard at least

we only joke about the 8" coils and acos. lifts that big are useless for any kind of practical purpose (mud bogging excluded)

if it bothers you that much get some poly spacers off ebay for 10 bucks, you can get em in just about any size.
