TK's Yellow Krait LJK Buildup by tkfx

3 minute(s) of a 91 minute read

Just finished grabbing measurments from the Heep. My sprung weights seem to be 785# in the front and 630# in the rear. I did some more maths and figured that I need 150/200 spring rate in the front and 100/150 in the rear. This will give me 3.1" of uptravel in the front and 4.3" in the rear. I will give the front 2.5" of preload and the rear will get 2.2" of preload. After all that is said an done, my jeep should keep the same ride height as now. The final up travel for the front will be ~5.6" and ~6.5" in the rear.

Just did some thinking about the chosen spring rates and remembered that I don't have a bumper out back OR a spare. SO that will add a good 200# after its all added. Also I didnt factor in the drivers weight, gear such. After playing around with the calculator some more I think I will end up with this:

Front: 150/200 (Not Changed)
Rear 150/150 (100/150 Before)

The slight increase in spring rate will allow me to add more weight to the back without making the rear feel too light. Ill have to lower my spring stoppers down a bunch to help fight any body roll that I may get because of the new spring rates as this is also a DD. I actually can't wait to swap them out for the a better ride!

So I haven't updated in a while. Not much has gone on, I have been waiting for my OX locker cable to come in for two weeks, and I went wheeling last weekend to Cleghorn.

Also right after wheeling, my OX locker cable came in. Got that hooked up and found a nice spot for the actuator.
