Thuren Suspension for 6.4L

[reloaderguy]

I don't have any experience with them but Pure Performance makes a 6" soft rate coil.

Just heard from Thuren today.

Hemi coils aren't an item for sale at this time. There are a couple around that are prototypes, but it won't be an available product for at least 8 weeks.

Did he mention any particular reason why?

Maybe they are still testing them

 

[ramessesII]

He didn't mention why.
I assume that, as a prototype, they are still testing and getting the kinks of production worked out, not to mention all the details that a product launch might entail.
I'm going to call again in late Sept --unless Carli has something figured out by then.

Any updates?

Any updates?

Last update I sent Don was that with the Snugtop Super Sport truck cap on and 37" tire mounted in the Wilco Hitchgate, the truck sits +1/4" in the back and looks perfectly level.

With the lift coils plus all that weight in the back and its still 1/4" higher?

what were your before measurements

 

[reloaderguy]

Which measurements are you asking for. I have a Power Wagon and it is +2/2 from the factory. Thurens coils are +3.5/2. The truck with the spare in the bed or empty bed and truck cap is +1" in the back. The current set up mentioned above is like having 500lb on the tongue at all times. The truck rides like a firm couch that corners ridiculously well.

I thought you only replaced the front coils to level it out, I didn't realize you replaced front/rear, sorry about that. I was just wondering what the original height difference was front to rear (rake).

 

[reloaderguy]

The Thuren rear coils are the same height as the factory PW coils.

Do you lose payload capacity when you do a spring lift?

The rake on my CCLB is right at 2.25". If there's an option for a basic 2" front lift that'll keep the rear 1" higher also, I'd be stoked. I do not like the leveled look at all, always looks too high up front to me.

I just ordered Thuren Hemi coils and Overland shocks. They're not on the website, but are available. Gets installed here early next week -I'll post an update when I get to check it out.

I emailed Thuren, waiting for their expertise.

Here is straight from Don:

We can do it now no problem!

Here is what you need to do.

1) Go to website and order a kit as if you had a 2500 Diesel. Pick shocks and everything just as if you had a Diesel. Make a COMPLETE kit front and rear, and I highly suggest our upgraded front trackbar, as the Hemi will be a full 3" height lift in the front. You must make sure you also get my rear coil kit as part of the kit, or you will be very nose high. More info on each part on their individual component page. https://www.thurenfabrication.com/p...-arm-trucks/suspension-systems/2014-2500.html

2) After you order, email back here, I HAVE A HEMI TRUCK PLEASE SEND HEMI COILS!!!!!, and I will take care of that.



We should have everything in stock or just a couple days out so not long to ship if you order soon, unless you order KING's, which take about 5 weeks.

Let me know if you have any questions thanks!

Until it's a real product, I'd highly recommend confirming with the shop(Aaron) after ordering that they are shipping you Hemi coils.

Good luck

 

[RAM_Designs]

Odd, I just got an email back from them saying it would be 4 weeks til they would be available. Fine with me, I'm not in a hurry.

 

[JB1]

Any update on these?

I had the Thuren Hemi coils and Overland shocks with their adjustable track bar installed a few weeks ago. The ride is much nicer than stock and is oads better then with the spacers.. In town, the regular jarring pothole and curbs are muted or dulled -just not as sharp. I took it up on a fire road that was very washboarded, rocky and rough. It got on it pretty good and felt like there was an ocean of capability there now. I cruised over things that would've rattled my brain loose before and really noticed just a general tightness and more traction. Maybe because there's less wheel hop? It just felt like it would go where i pointed it and would handle all the speed I could give it. Pretty impressive.

I chose the Overland shocks at Don's suggestion, and think they'll be just fine for these mountain roads. The whole package raised the truck about 3 inches over stock and leaves it dead level. Guess I need side steps now.

Thuren customer service was excellent and my questions were handled promptly. Overall, I'm very pleased with the suspension and feel much more confident in the truck's ability.
