What have people herd about Rocy Roads coil conversion?

Avoid Rocky Road..... Yeah, I guess I do hold a grudge after being screwed...:flipoff2:

The kit RRO sells is made by Shaffers Offroad. There are a couple of people on the bbs with this setup. Samit where are you??? Anyways I checked out Samits setup at SOR and was impressed, its a very well thought out and simple setup, I liked it a lot. Just dont buy it from RRO if you're in a hurry.

I know the price is right.:)

see if another vendor has it or be as pissed off as the rest of the rocky road custumers. :flipoff2:

There is word of delivery problems w/ the Shaffer coil kits - it would be nice if we could clear the smoke about this & find out what's really going on there.....

yeah...

if memory sirves correctly, a guy over at the orc-bbs was waiting for more than a year for the coil kit (bought it directly from Mr. shaeffer)

:zzz:

:zzz:

:zzz:

:D

I dont think I asked how long it took for them to get here, I asked how well they worked. Only one person gave me a some what resonable answer. so back to the question, how well does the suspension work?

Pretty damn cocky for a newbie.....:flipoff2:

Well, I'd be concerned with how long it would take to get the fawking thing. It doesn't matter one bit how well it works if it takes a frigging year to get it! :flipoff2:

I just want a strait answer, one like, yes they are good on the trail and make an excellent ride, or no they are no good dont get them. Thats not that hard to do. I t is quite a bit of my money to buy this kit so I want to know how well it performs before i buy it.
Oh yeah alfred, I think batman might be calling you to the bat cave, or mabey to wipe his A$$.:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

How about you buy it, and when you finally get it, let us know how it works?! :flipoff2:

Disaster, we put shaffers coil kit on my buddy's last year, extremely soft and flexy. It scored 1050 on a 30 degree ramp and will lift a tire about 42" or so. Its a pretty involved install. You can check it out on Izook. Its one of the featured rigs (Zukor). HTH

if you plan on ordering the kit call shaffer off road direct 775 885 9944


Tonight i will post more info have to get to work:mad:

Thanks for all the help, I will check out Izook.com. I appreciate the replys on the coil suspension

poppycock

Just to let you no fianlly got to look at the toyota shaft real good 2 days ago that things in perfect shape !
Thanks again .

started to take the DC end off so i can get shaft cute doen to size That is a PITA!!! cant get the darn caps off

yeah that thing was hard to let go... i got it for buying a rear end. share the wealth :grinpimp: it was really JDLethal's. didn't i ship that thing to wrong state or something? sorry bout that :rasta:

Yeha you sent ot to arzona instead of arkasnas but belive it or not that happens alot!

Last summer I called Mike Shaffer and ordered one of his coil kits. He told me it would be around two months and some extra $ to make a kit for toy axles. After waiting 4 months, I couldn't take it anymore. I decided to build my own. He told me that RRO had been giving him problems with the orders. I don't wanna start shit so I wont say what he really told me, but he did also tell me that the production time was hopefully going to improve because they were gonna start having teraflex make all the brackets. I don't know what ever came of this, but I will tell you that the kit is awesome and after building my own, I can also tell you the $ is right! It's a great deal if your up for the wait!

I'd like to see some as well

I ordered a kit for Land Cruiser axles from Shaffer, should be ready to ship in a week or two...

maybe you should read the whole reply. I said I couldn't wait anylonger and went ahead and built my own kit. So, no I don't have any pics of shaffer's coil kit

Oh man you caught me, I confess I don't read all the posts completley ! :flipoff2:

Ok so how about some picture of what YOU made then. I dont really care who welded it together i just wanna see different coil over stuff. I'll prolly make my own any way.

edit: Ok im lazy not only did i not read your last post but i didnt even notice your whole damn thread on YOUR suspension......So call me stupid or what ever..... Im outta here... time for a beer...or 2

Actually, if you go back & read your own original post, you did not ask anything about how the kit performs - you only asked "what people have heard".... :rolleyes:

Yea what burner said!!

A general comment like how does any one setup, or suspension perform,,,,, usually wont get a very elaborate answer anyway.

Alot depends on what or how you are going to use it. If you want an elaborate answer, take some time and type up a post and give them some information to go off of.

Ultimately, they dont HAVE to give you any advice.....
