OMG!

Russell!

Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Those Gen2 coil springs are a Godsend!!

ÔÇó The ride is SO much smoother, especially with fifty gallons of water sitting directly over the rear axle.
ÔÇó I gained 2.5" of lift on the side that was tilting down (right side), and 2" of lift on the left side.
ÔÇó There is so much more clearance above the 33" Boggers, that they look tiny now! ?á ;-)
ÔÇó The rubber isolators (The pads next to the springs that stop any metal-on-metal banging when the springs are full compressed. Or did you men the pads that sit at the top of the coil springs? I just reused those originals, as they were fine.) were also very much appreciated, as the ones on my ÔÇÖBecca were badly torn up, but the used ones I got look like the previous owner(s) never took their Montero/Raider off asphalt! You were absolutely right about recycling!
ÔÇó The Gen2 rear coil springs are the exact same length and diameter as the Gen1 springs, the only difference is the gauge of the steel rod. They were exact replacements for the Gen1 springs. Your instructions were very helpful! (It still took about an hour to make the swap. ?á ;-) ?á )

THANK YOU!!!
