Warriors
Okay so I got the shackles on...and sure enough the springs went flat..really flat. So flat the bottom spring (not the load) is now in full contact with the top one...hence I'm getting stiffer ride, and tho its not annoying, I know I could do better if something is done.
I was wondering how well the procomp add-a-leaf fixes this arch, and also, since the Sport uses only two main leafs plus the load leaf (the 4 doors use 3 plus the load) is the "harshness" usually associated with the add-a-leaf minimal on the sport, or about the same?
I'm also wondering if re-arching the springs is a better idea, or just new, longer leafs altogether?
It seems to me that putting the warrior shackle slightly further back (like the angle of the stock shackle) with a longer spring would result in even more travel(they do this with the Ranger prerunners dont they?)..to the extension limit of the shackles/shocks? Would the Old Man Emu springs be longer and give this effect? I wonder if even the OME springs would flatten out some due to the shackles..which would actually be ok as long as I dont have the same problem of the main springs still hitting each other...
Could I just use two of the OME leafs to mimic the factory setup..?
Maniak... you have both the warriors and OME springs..do they just flatten out some, or do they still smoosh together like the worn out factory ones?
