I've searched and have not seen anything that would help. My rig is on the lift and the axles are not attached so I can't move it and weigh it.
I'm looking for spring rate for a coilover setup for a short wheelbase rig. I'm looking for a ballpark figure to start with so I can minimize having to buy extra coils as a result of the "mistake."
My rig is an FJ40 with with 108" wheelbase, 350 motor, TH400/Atlas riding on 65" WMS to WMS D60 axles with 42" tires on a 4 link suspension. Going with 14" long 2" wide coilover shocks.
The front of the rig has a custom bumper and 8274. I figure it will add about 250 lbs to the front end. It will have some custom front fenders which should add more weight.
The rear will have less weight with a small rear bumper, but I'll have a luggage rack built and will propably put another 150 lbs in the rear.
Please let me know what spring rate you're using. My inital guess is going to be
150/300 front and 100/250 for the rear.
Thanks is advance,
Charles
