RadFlos and 4x4 parts rear springs?

Postby NmexMAX » Mon Sep 17, 2012 5:44 pm

Has anyone gone with the  RadFlo coilovers and UCA's up front coupled with the HD 4x4 parts rear springs?  From what I understand, the rear springs only provide 1.0" lift vs the claimed 2.5" buy do offer stiffer springs when loaded.  I suppose I can level it out using the adjustable coilovers up front.  Just wondering if anyone has this setup and how you like it if so.

if i did it again, i'd be tempted to do something like that. however, it's tough to beat that $440 price tag for what you get...

i got ~1.5in lift out of the rear springs, but can get the full 2in if i keep my airbags inflated at ~30psi.

Still contemplating what to go with at this point.

I've already got the rear springs, now to decide on the front. And yes, the UCA/CO combo is fairly steep.


I'm wondering if I can get 295-65/18's Duratracs under there with this set-up.

Looking into going with an 18x9 with a -12mm offset.

I pulled the trigger with the Radflo 2.5 coilovers (650 # springs, because I plan on installing bumper, winch & under armor in the future) and UCA's yesterday. Decided to add the rear Radflo 2.0 shocks while I was at it.

Let's hope everything goes well and as planned, and if it doesn't, let's hope everything gets sorted out as it should.

:lol:
