Skyjacker soft ride rear springs

[Grimor]

I'm on my phone and it's not always easy to find stuff. is any one running or previously running the skyjacker rear springs? it seems that i get some rubbing when i add some weight to my truck

[moose1]

I just lifted mine a couple weeks ago so i have not fully tested capabilities. i did however make a bracket to keep them in position because the drivers side was rubbing on the gas tank. no problems since, but like i said have not loaded it down yet.

Grimor, ask Hardtrailz, Regulator, or Moots. They are the 3 I know of with that spring. C25 That shouldn't help your rubbing though. You're rubbing at the front of the inner fender liner. Longer control arms are all that will fix that.

[HARDTRAILZ]

Running where? I don't have issues.

[Grimor]

I have the stock springs with blocks now. They are a little soft so when there is added weight in the rear they drop and I get rubbing from body roll when I turn. It rubs the front of the rear inner fender liner. I figure some stiffer springs and a little lift should help reduce it. I do have a new set of airlift bags I could put in the springs too. Mostly figured if I was going to go with stiffer springs, I might as well eliminate the blocks and get another inch of lift

[HARDTRAILZ]

Will those bags work with the SkyJackers? Might be worth checking in making a decision.

The front rub might be avoided some by the additional lift, but loaded or flexing it out will still have it occur so you probably should look into extended control arms topush the axle back a bit. I have just a half inch and it has been enough.

[Grimor]

I've looked at the massive setup for the rear. the adjustable panhard bar would be nice to get the rear completely centered. it'll happen, but it's a bit further down the budget.

I'm pretty sure the bags will still work in the skyjackers. the inside diameter should be similar

[Grimor]

so, the important question... do you like the ride on the skyjackers?

[HARDTRAILZ]

I do.

[moose1]

i think the ride is night and day difference compaired to stock. i wasn't able to get rid of the rake but lifting without spacers was more appealing.

[v7guy]

I don't suppose any of you guys with the skyjackers could measure the spring height from spring perch on the axle to spring perch on the body could ya?

[HARDTRAILZ]

My tape measure ran off with some aliens the other night, but I expect it home soon. I will try to remind it to find a number for you

[v7guy]

I'd really appreciate it!

[moose1]

mine measures 16-1/4"

[HARDTRAILZ]

Bout inch less and a lot of surface rust on the springs.

[Grimor]

i didn't realize i was so short in the rear. With blocks, I'm only at 14" including the blocks.

[moose1]

then there's hope time might ease my rake or maybe its the shocks holding you down.

[HARDTRAILZ]

My shocks don't hold anything down. Steel bumper n spare tire likely do...

[v7guy]

Thanks Kevin and Kyle!

[Grimor]

I R taller now..
