No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension

[luckeeD0g]

So, what is the load carrying capacity of the coil-overs? I'd like to still carry stuff in my truck. Maybe a couple of dirt bikes, engines and/or transmissions for other project vehicles. Can I carry up to 1000 lbs using the complete No Limit trailing arm system with coil-overs?

Well, it depends a lot on the spring rate. We like the 250 lb springs for the best ride and handling. With these, you have about 3 to 3 1/2" of compression available at R.H., so you could carry 1000 lbs (500 on each spring) and that would compress the suspension another 2", leaving you 1 1/2" of compression left. - this would be 'outside' of our comfort zone. If you went to a 350 spring, it would ride a little firmer, and only compress about 1.4" from R.H. with 100 lbs.

OR, you could use a 7000 series Shockwave and add air ride, and use the air pressure to vary the spring rate to match the load.
