Rock Krawler 1.5" Spring Budget Build

[ljvsnyder]

Finally got my RK 1.5" triple rate coils installed with Rancho RS9000XL shocks. I played around with the shock settings and have found 3 in front and 2 in the rear seems to be a good balance for my current setup. Overall ride is improved with large bumps on the highway being soaked up easily. I choose to go with just the coils and shocks for now to save a little money. The geometry is all within factory specification, at least according to the dealer that did the install and alignment, had to turn it over as I am currently suffering from a messed up knee. For a budget minded setup it is a great way to go. Plus with the Rancho $100 rebate it came in below my budget. Now for what everyone wants Pics.

Looks great!

What's next? Chop the flares and go to 37s?

May I ask what size Rancho shocks you ended up choosing? 29 & 30?

My springs are on the way and I want to order the shocks before the rebate ends at the end of June, but I can't find a clear winner for the best size. It seems like some choose smaller than the 29/30 combo.

Thanks!

We didnt change the brake lines, And we didnt change the disconnects.

I would change the disconnects however. Make sure they are quick release.
