New shocks and springs ordered... more info to come

[audio1der]

I'm not sure I still needed my bags either, but I had mine re-installed inside the new coils anyways. I can tell a difference in ride quality when I inflate my bags to 35 psi unloaded. The ride feels "bouncier". Unloaded, I run my bags at 5 psi and my truck rides much smoother. Since I already had the bags and wireless compressor paid for, I figured a little overkill won't hurt. My truck's rear ride height does change a little when I inflate the bags from 5 psi to 35 psi. Not sure what the overall change is...I need to measure the difference this spring.

Have you hooked up to a load with your V springs? I like the idea of the progressive, +35% capacity but I also want to cut some off the bottom to lower it 2" so I keep my stance. Would love to not depend on air bags & lines to not sag.

They are on the web site now, getting ready to order a set for my truck. I bought a 32' camper that weighs around 7600 pounds empty, not sure what the tongue weight will be after I have it loaded but I know I can't hook it up without the weight distribution hitch hooked up. I think the springs will help with the camper and the car trailer.

The springs we are talking about in this thread are the model TTC-1211 which are not listed on their site yet. They do have the TTC-1223 which say stock height and 50% but they actually raise the rear end quite a bit from what I have read which is why these particular springs came about.

Ok, sorry about that. I thought the ones on the site where the new ones since it said that they were stock height. Thanks for letting me know so I didn't order the wrong ones.

Unfortunately, no. I had them installed last summer in preparation of purchasing a travel trailer, which we eventually backed out of prior to placing the order. I thought there was someone else here that bought these same coils, if I remember correctly.

Still no word from TufTruck on these (TTC-1211).

They are supposed to have them ready next week to order. I called them and that is what they told me.

The springs are in production now and can be ordered. I ordered mine today.

they are listed now

So which ones actually increase ride height and how much? Looking on their site they claim all maintain stock height?????????

 

[cableguy_hd]

mine went up about 1/2". the TTC-1223 raise it 3-4". Not sure about the variable ones

Thank you sir, contemplating these springs instead of adding a spacer. I've got the 5100's and want to put them at 2.8 and I know the back will need to go up just a little, springs with a little more load capacity would be an added bonus.

FINALLY got my rear shocks installed. had a buddy help. It wasnt too bad just jacked it up, took the fender well cover out and replaced. the top back nut is a ***** to get too but 30 minutes and it was done. I will have to wait til June to try this set up out ( I hope ) since I canceled this weeks trip. Its probably in my head but it does SEEM to ride a tad bit better but for 69.99 ea it was worth the upgrade. I will definetly post a pic loaded.... and I mean LOADED if we make our June trip....
