Have you thought about using the spring assortments from RC4WD for the King Shocks, there are 4 different values in a pack. I found the stock springs to be too soft for my G2, so I have used stiffer springs on my 90mm shocks. If you use a combination of spring values, you only need to buy one set.

+Lucid I have considered it, just havent seen the spring sets available very many places. I have moved the king shocks to the cruiser but could still use a bit stiffer for the rear. Havent gotten far enough along yet on the D90 to look at other shock options yet.

Yes it was a good idea! I was going use that foam like paper at Walmart but I think that mesh would be a better idea! Thanks man!

+EVIN TACY That mesh cut super easy as well with a box cutter. I havent looked to see if walmart carries it, you never know. I bet there are a million other scale uses for that foam. I need to pick up some.

Barry Runion commented on 05 Jan 2016
Awesome bro! Yeah mesh looks like it would be lighter too. Since you have 6 lbs on top already lol. Im thinking what's the interiors done in there you're definitely going to need some stronger shocks. For a scale idea you might could throw a bicycle in with the mix, and some tools with a high lift jack....

Josh Dutton (RC Everyday) commented on 05 Jan 2016
+Barry Runion yes shocks are going to be a necessity I think. I ran across some actual 1/10 mountain bikes on ebay just not sure how big they really are. I had high lift hacks but have used them all on other trucks. Really want the functional rc4wd jack.

@DoomGoon138 well what this is is a "kit" off ebay but brand new. It is a large poly material spacer between the coilsprings on the front that is 3 inches tall and then extended shackles. The kit is different from a real non-budget because those kits usually have control arms and quick disconnects. However when you go three inches, all you have to change is the shocks. 3 is the limit without extra equipment. So in all I have a hundred dollar kit with 200 dollar shocks. 300 Total, not bad...

@DoomGoon138 well its not too hard, But with air tools it would be easier. One thing i will suggest to you is bring your jeep in a garage a while before you start the lift, And spray all the bolts with wd-40 because mine were very hard to take off. Then you will need to rent a coil spring compressor. Mine came with directions too. Pretty easy, with the right tools.

@DoomGoon138 well with my kit I used the coil spacer front, and the longer shackle in the back. If i were you, I'd go with the shackle instead of the add-a-leaf because over time, these add-a-leafs have been know to sag which will look terrible!

DoomGoon138 commented on 29 Jan 2011
ohh ok, cause I found a kit on ebay too, comes with the shock, spacers, and some add-a-leaf springs. I wanted to go to 3 inches cause I cant afford a SYE or trasfer case drop haha. How did you do your leafs?

DoomGoon138 commented on 06 Feb 2011
@bigfish848 fer sure ive been debating between shackles, aal, or a whole new leaf pack .Are the shackels and spacers hard to install?

haha, instead of paying 75 bucks to rent a coil compressor, i decided to lift one side of the axle and drop the other worked well

Great how/to video! Curious (as I look to build these for my FJC) why you chose to use the coated cables? And also how has the coating held up with time and use?

I may have missed it but did you mention how to position them fast enough apart to still open the hood? It would be a bummer to remove these every time you want to check fluid levels or a filter.

+Dan Cole Very good point! Mine do not contact the hood at all, but yes, you need to make sure you have hood clearance!

Any reason you did not use hardware on the bumper like eye bolts or another hook?

Overland Bound commented on 25 Jul 2015
+Rich Gann Well, I don't like eye bolts, just personal preference but I'm sure they are fine, and I don't want to drill or modify the ARB because it is rated for impact. I don't want to change its geometry in any way. Those are the only reasons.
