Wildhorses 4x4 1/1.5" Coils

[BajaBronco]

Okay, still need to measure but I will do that and post up. Ride is great, but appears at least 1" high in back. The front are Moog coils with about 2000 miles on them.

Baja, yours looks higher than 1” to me. Looks like mine haha.

 

[BajaBronco]

yeah, could be. You dont have a top on yours tho..... I feel like yours looks taller. Plus I said "At least" an inch.

Here's an old pic of stock susp at 80k miles. It's a u152. Circa 2007

And a pic from July 2017

We need 1.5" front coils. . I really just want stock height rear springs tho. Love my Barn pic stance....

 

[mpboxer]

Maybe it’s the 1” body lift. From your previous picture it does look at least an inch. What is your frame to top of axle tube measurement?

 

[mpboxer]

Yeah those 1.5” will be sweet. I agree the barn pic stance is perfect.

 

[ford man]

I too would like to see some 1.5" springs!

 

[mpboxer]

Trying real hard to flex/settle these leaf springs ;D

Hi Guys,

I hate to say it but I have WH 1 1/2" lift coils installed and I love them!

Actually they're the 2 1/2 coils.

After I installed them the front sat higher than I liked so after a month of driving it I removed the coils, took out my trusty grinder, measured once, chopped of a coil then reinstalled them. That's how we use to lower 60's Mustangs back in the day.

It's a bit laborious to install, chop, reinstall but I'm happy with the results.

Happy Saturday ya'll!

or remove a couple of leaves.

this is what I had to do, actually had to remove 3 leafs to get it back down to stock height to sit level with new stock front coils

 

[markw]

Surfer, how does it ride now? Did you remove the 3 bottom leafs?

 

[mpboxer]

Two sets of these came in. Jim, from Wildhorses, shipped a set out to me today. They should be here Tuesday because of the holiday. I’ll try and install them ASAP and report back. Changing from 4* to 7* C bushings also so it’s a little more time consuming on the install.

Look forward to the updates.

Thanks

Wait wait wait...coils? I need. And a driveshaft. Lol

I would love to have a level rig. Off-roaders at bronco daze, and 6 weeks Petaluma bumpy roads and I'm still stinkbugggg

Sorry for the dark pictures. After I got off work yesterday I kicked butt and installed the new coils. I'll try and take some more today after I bleed the brake lines and take it for a drive.

The new WH 1.5" coils had about one more coil than the stock ones. My Bronco is pretty light (stock bumpers, no top, no roll cage).

Sitting at 8.25" up front. This is with 7* bushings. I have no binding in my front drive shaft, but I think it's definitely at it's limit. Track bar and drag link angles don't look too steep. I actually noticed the rear leafs lower approx 1/2" more after the installation of front coils. Rear is at 9". Very happy with the looks. Will try and drive it today and update.

My caster was previously 4* with the 4* C-bushings. I'll get a rough measurement today with the 7* C-bushings. Goal was to have about 5* to 6* caster.

Thanks for the report! Are the new coils progressive like WH's other coils?

And by your signature I assume you have the WH "stock" rear leafs on it?

Yes progressive. I do have their "stock" 10 pack, but it was the batch that came out a little high. 2-3" over stock. I also have their 1" body lift on it.

Nice Stance and Nice Rig too sir....

Thank you!

Drove it today. From my crude angle finder I have about 7* caster. Sure does drive nice. Couple daylight pics.

 

[JCBombardier]

Looks great!

I think I may do that setup instead of the 2.5” lift. The James Duff TRex radius arms would be a nice addition. Are you using stock length shocks?
