Did you do both fronts and rears or just the rears?underworld1001 wrote:I've had mine on a while now and have probably put, something of a rough guess, around 2000+ miles on them. The rear is still higher than the front so there was minimal settling.
Speaking of which, yes the springs are pretty cheap. When I bought them I had to keep reading the description that it was for a pair and not a single spring. I would assume probably because they're marketed as 'factory' replacements and not 'performance' springs like Tien or Eibach are.
Do you happen to recall that shop in Northern VA? I have the rear Moog springs and want to put the 4600's on. TIApalmerwmd wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2017 5:08 amYou know that you so much for doing this and documenting this.
Now I will have the confidence to execute a srping swap as I want my vehicle to be able to carry a significant load in an emergency and not disply it via excessive squat (I am a prepper) but still drive and look normally when loaded only with myself.
I also just got my R51 used a mere 3 weeks ago... it does handle and drive great to me w/ no bottoming out of any kind.. rear feels pretty solid to me..
But that may be because a) previous owner did something new for it stock or otherwise... and I will investigate this or b) coming from an XTerra which is even softer since its more off road optimized maybe it just feels ok to me.
However i will be careful. I remember spending a lot of money on my XTerra rear and getting socked with a huge labor charge in addition to new springs and in the end the vehicle riding same..
I recently (and finally!) discovered a shop here in northern virginia that is both competent and reasonably priced and I will use them over the dealer
