Subject: stock height stiffer springs for sale?
IP: Logged

Message:
i was wondering if anybody had some springs to sell me. i have a 3/5 djm drop, with toxic shocks, and i need stiffer springs up front, but since i used the new control arms to lower the front, regular aftermarket lowering springs wont work, i need the stock type spring but stiffer. any input is appriciated.

Are you driving your ride. I have a 97 with djm 3" drop springs and thinking of trying thier drop control arm cause mine rides to rough. Does it ride to soft (bouncy) or what is your reason for needing stiffer springs? Is yours a v8? If not you could try v8 springs, but the down side is you gain a little altitude.

the control arms work really well. they are designed to give the closest to a factory ride. with the shocks, it is a little bit bumpier, but it rides nice and i could handle a little stiffer springs up front. i want the stiffer springs to limit suspension travel, i have a tendency to rub with lots of people when going around corners or hitting big bumps. the control arms are the way to go. ill see if i can get some v8 springs, mine is a v6. could i even get bigger bump stops to prevent the wheel from going up that far? i have the urethane ones that came with the kit.

They sound nice, im trying to get as much info as possable before i buy some. I was never pleased with the way it rides and djm was the only company in the begining that made a kit when the gen 3 came out. I here they decrease turning radious and i even heard of them breaking but then they redsigned them. As far as a bigger jounce bumber you could get as big as you want. When i did mine i just cut the factory one down to prevent to much travel and never even installed the aftermarket ones.
