I’m not so much interested in hearing peoples opinions about suspension is better in terms of ride quality. I want to discuss the technical differences between the two approaches so I can better understand why they are so different. From what I have gathered, their approaches are as follows for the 19+ Power Wagon:
Thuren’s approach is slightly stiffer +0.5” or +1.5” front coils, ~OEM height softer rear coils, front adjustable track bar, rear non adjustable track bar and relocation bracket, rear sway bar links, and tuned shocks (2.0, 2.5, and 3.0).
Carli’s approach is slightly softer +2” front coils, slightly stiffer +1” rear coils, front adjustable track bar, rear OEM track bar drop bracket, rear sway bar links, front and rear bump stop drops, OEM radius arm 2” drop brackets, and tuned shocks (2.0, 2.5, 3.0).
Why does Carli specify the need to drop the radius arms and bump stops while Thuren says at just 0.5” less front lift the radius are caster is fine and bump stop drops are not needed.
How far back do the Thuren 1.5” coils pull the front axle caster? Has anyone run Thuren 1.5” front coils and then used Synergy or Carli radius arm drop brackets to center the caster?
