i put a set of hardly used ones on and tested them this weekend, they're stiff and don't travel for shit!!!

how do you soften these things up?? i don't want to go back to my worn and twisted stock waggies but i will if i have to these springs sucks!

 

[toy 4 rox]

took me about 6 trips to the con to get them loosend up with each trip better then the next and getting better all the time.i have herd of peaple driving 1 tire on a ramp over night then the other tire the next but i don't know if it works <IMG SRC="smilies/usa.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/usa.gif" border="0">

Yeah, ya gotta go wheeling <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">

The overnight flexing does help.
You don't need a RTI ramp. Just jack up a tire as high as you can.

It is not as much fun as actually wheeling, but it will work.

Hey Dave why getting rid of the stock waggys? Did you get a wrapped or warped set? I just bought some stock waggys and am looking forward to using them soon. So how did the quarter eliptical come out? I bet you are jazzed for the NWRC next week. We will be watching Saturday.

the 1/4's aren't in yet, waiting for after NWRCA to do it, can't run super mod with 1/4's in teh rear, and i bent one of the stock wagg's somehow <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> so since i had the 2.5in lift ones i'm trying those and LOST major front travel!

DSI how was you funny rock ride last weekend? If your still on here? Do they flex or not>

DSI---- You must have done something wrong cause my 44044's that I just installed are as flexy as I could have ever hoped for. Maybe you have the shackle bolts way too tight or the shackle is folded all the way back bottoming on the frame.

Look up wag and see ALL the info you want. Then ook up 44044.
I have heard nothing but good on the rancho setup/WTF? Even stock toy drivetrain I have heard good. Get a newer set of wagg springs. I got like 5inches outa mine.1.5 drophanger and rubicon shackles.

 

[GRABBER]

Mine flex like mad. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

ummm <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> i ran stock waggie 6 leaf's and BENT them fron to much travel! you know a whole 26in of front travel!!!

HELLO!! do you NOT remember me telling you about this 3 different times when you were whining about not enough from yours???

i bought the 44044's USED from another board member and as several people on here can attest to i lost 10 or so inches of front travel!!! so WTF!!!

my stock ones flexed good but had a short life and didn't clear my tires quite as well as i liked... so i supposedly upgraded and lost mad flex and picked tires going over pebbles!

Give them time they will get beter. All springs take time to brake in. The harder you wheel the faster. If you still don't like them send them to me. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> .

I think why DSI is so frustrated is he has a rock crawl competitionthis weekend and is obviously trying to fix a problem before he goes, right Dave? I know where there is a pair of front waggys for sale probably 20bucks if yours are bent. Sorry to hear all the problems.

exactly sean exactly! i've got an idea on how to soften them some and i hope to hell it works!, hell i even broke my bumper, ripped a spring perch off teh rear housing, broke my steering box mount (x3) and finished off teh left side of the bed! oh and i scratched my new spray paint <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

get a free day and just wheel the piss out of them all day long, they will be nice and soft then. Springs need a little time to break in I would figure you would of learned from the springs on your 4runner...

LOL teh springs on teh 4runner were sagging out within 3 day's of the install and i've fought with all-pro many times over them, i finally found a fix for them though <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> they were to soft from day 1, but this 82 also weighs 2k less that the runner, and i have 2 day's before i leave for teh comp and am waiting on part's to re-assemble it after last weekend... so it's not gonna get any time <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">
