yes....

 

[smurfs_of_war]

yes....

I thought you were waiting for the OEM height ones in January?

 

[cableguy_hd]

well these came in on Saturday. I emailed about the tracking number for the springs and haven't gotten a response yet. Gonna give it til Monday then I'm calling.

 

[cableguy_hd]

well I got the tracking # last night. Coils will be here Thursday. These are the TTC coils that increase 50% but maintain stock height ( I hope ). He said I would be the first to get these and wanted pics before and after with measurements and loaded up too. Hope I can get these in soon after I get them.

Do you have a part number for them? I just see the same ones on their site. I was planning on getting the variable ones but have been waiting on these.

 

[cableguy_hd]

no I dont remember him telling me on the phone when I placed the order. It may be on the paper work when I get them. email them. I did and he told me they where available through them. He also said they may need to tweak them once I send back measurements and ride quality info. Hope to get these installed on the 24th. Going on call and have to work 9 straight days starting the 13th

I emailed them about the new springs but have not heard anything back so I guess they are waiting a bit before they make the release official. Please post if you get a model number.

Wondering about my choice in shocks now.... I thought about this before I ordered but got them anyway. They say for stock height +1" and these new coils are suppose to maintain stock height but they will be shorter in length to achieve that I suppose... I may put springs on first and wait for settlement then install shocks... Or sell them not sure

 

[cableguy_hd]

Got them today. 17.25" in length. Not sure what that compares to stock.

 

[cableguy_hd]

here are before pics. I hope to get these on on Monday. Gonna do the springs only and take measurements before I add shocks. I have 3/4 tank of fuel on no air in my air bags.
Front measures at 38" and 38.25" just for reference...

 

[cableguy_hd]

last one.

I'm not sure what the stock coil spring length is, but I do know my TufTruck 1223-V springs are much thicker and heavier than OEM. Can't wait to see the new springs installed. Wish they would have been around last summer before I had mine installed.

I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing about the ride myself with these new springs. Camping season will be starting soon and I want to get rid of the rear sag when I tow. TufTruck still doesn't have these on their site yet.

 

[cableguy_hd]

I got an email Weds. asking about the springs and install. They may be waiting on me....
Monday will be the day I get these in and will have pics. I have to pickup my daughter from school that day and I will go the country route to see how the ride is. On main roads it should be ok but these back roads here will be a test for sure...

 

[cableguy_hd]

got new springs in today. Didn't do shock install. I was limited on time. Not sure if the will settle but these measurements are right after install. looks like an increase of 1/2" in height right now. 1/2 tank of fuel ( 32 gal. tank ) no air in air bags. tried to park in same location. The ride is stiffer. I tried to hit man hole covers and joints in the rode but overall not too bad. I will be doing some back road driving in a few to get my daughter from school so I'll report how it does. Highway driving I think it would be fine. It was pretty smooth when I wasn't trying to hit anything. BUT those that want to get these springs should know its gonna be a stiffer ride. Unless you're real picky or have a very sensitive ass cheeks its not bad. Anyway I cant load it up till Sunday. Golf cart is broken and been raining so I aint going in the back yard to get the camper yet.
