Coilovers!!

I don't think a coilover will support another 1000lbs of dead weight, but I don't have first hand knowledge, only a bunch of reading here.
Finally getting on team coilover
Took a bit of time but I wanted to make sure I was not going to get any lower on ride height. Most have drop spindles and/or keys and I didn't want that low because I wouldn't be able to turn on the balloon tires.
Is a 900# spring pretty standard for a dmax or does having a reg cab make it different for you.
There is a reason we went with the longer shock as well, no mistake there incase anyone is wondering

...and that reason is?
I dont think the amount of stress that much weight would put on the lower mount would work out too well.
I think even on a crew cab there is still 3600-4000lbs on the nose, the main difference is whats on the back end as far as cab config weight differences.
I had 900# springs on my truck and with the QA1 compression turned all the way down I thought it was still a little stiff. I switched to 800# and was able to turn the compression up some and liked the ride much more.
I didn't want to loose but maybe 1-2" ground clearance from where im currently at right now (stock keys all the way down and no bolts)
CV's aren't level when I leave the line s wanted to get a max drop of 2" more to compensate, plus, I don't think I'd be able to turn on my balloon tires if it was any lower.
So you saying the setup you linked you think you will go no lower then 2" from your current ride height.
Removed everything today.
So excited to see how it turns out. Been wanting to do it myself
Would you guys go with bearing mounts or poly mounts? I was thinking poly for my 2wd RCLB but would like a little insight. Also thinking 800lb springs but undecided.
The QU1's are poly.
Also, is the general consensus grab a grade 8 bolt that will fit through the lower shock bore on the QA1's to the factory shock tab on the LCA?

Yes but match it to the size bore the qa1 uses, the stock mount will need to be drilled a bit bigger to fit the bolt

Coil's arrived. Just waiting on the top mounting bracket to show up Tuesday then I can set the truck on the ground. 10lbs per corner.
Total torsion bar assembly weight drop-----77lbs :thumb:
