Just want to say Thanks to Marlin , Springs are badass!!
« on: May 19, 2006, 01:34:51 AM »
:greengrin:  :thumbs:  :disturbed: :clap::greengrin:

 Awesome Flex and Incredible on Road Handling  :greengrin:

Bought  Marlin 5" rear springs for my 85 runner almost a year ago !

Been on two full runs of Rubicon and a Hollister dirt run, It's all working Awesome !
 Have 5" Alcan orbit eyes in front.
 Ramping a  757 on a 35* ramp, with 9012 shocks that are to short, so it could go more!

 When Driving on the Street my rear end actually DRIFTS when I drive Fast around left/Right Turns !

 If you tip too much , there plenty of time to compensate !

  Never have experienced the Baja Feel driving over Big speeds bumps till Now !  :greengrin:and having that Plush Absorption and no bounce back !

 BUY MARLIN !!!

Although the Jonny joints from allpoo  :thumbdown: was the dumbist thing I did on my truck !

as you can see the main leaf twisted before the jonny joint started thinkin about rotating  :mad: :thumbdown:

 Need a Suspension Expert on this Please   :) :-\ I have seen many double set ups, not sure why mine is not dropping farther and the joint is not rotating
 Any help apreciated


  SHOCK IS Disconnected because it only ramped a 682 , shocks need to be longer and front needs another 3 inches

Don't those have a nut to adjust the tension on the joint? Or were those AORs that had that?
