Dislocation cone testing

no cranked trailing arms, altough I want to get some....

im just running a procomp 2" lift, Bearmarch springs, but the ones they say suited for offroad, not for improving road handling or towing...

on the axle mounted dislocation cones, how is the spring retained on the top?

Some sort of retaining mechanism or clamp. Retained springs are common and the norm for Land owners in the US and Oz, it's only really us Brits that go for dislocating setups.

Cranked trailing arms will allow more droop, which is when springs can come out of the upper spring seats.

Remember a "lift" won't increase your wheel travel. Do you know if the shocks you've fitted are longer or not? If not, then there's only little chance of them dislocating.

If they are, then you could just use some HD lower clamps and retain the top of the spring with an exhaust clamp or a small D shackle.

I'm running axle mounted dislocation cones and double cranked trailing arms from Adrenaline 4X4 (ebay) very pleased with the setup and they're not at all noisey, unlike my mates chassis mounted cones! I've never had the springs come out yet after 2 yrs of pretty serious action!

it all depends on what length shocks your using, i use +5" so have a lot of articulation, but can mean occasionally a spring doesnt re-seat correctly
