How do I keep my coils from falling out???

[chedisme]

Dude did/is getting a custom track bar made
Out of that whole deal.
Maybe I should try to make some axles out of pvc and see if any one will donate some custom axles. :/

those 16" airshocks stay "seated" throughout the entire length of travel. which is what we are trying to tell this guy to do, but he doesn't seem to understand that somebody somewhere may have already had his issue and solved it.

Um... You use limiting straps & tack weld the bottom of the coil to the axle.
It's not rocket science.

Welding coils?
Yeah, I'm gonna have o go with no on that one

I made my coils from rebar.

 

[souske]

That gives me an idea, we had tons of cutoffs of rebar coils left over from a continuous spiral caisson job a few years back.

How do I calc the spring rate? its #5 bar, and the coils are 2' in diameter. Would these work for my jeep?

3lbs of spring weight, 500lbs of static weight

Why tack weld themwhen you can just use the stock coil retainers? Oh and limit straps

 

[XJLI]

Did anyone suggest limit straps yet? I think I would try and use limit straps.

 

[kastein]

I don't think so. I'd probably use limit straps too.

no way limit straps will make his rig fold like a taco! and cause -10hp, and cause kittens to go blind!

Lifting tires is fun.......(Don't mind the fact that my skidplate is stuck on the rock and I had one disco still connected)
