You can do amazing tings with just the 2.5's if dialed in perfect. Your in a better position. I had to change springs more then once and had custom valving. So yes if you haven't done a deep dive into that stuff you may be leaving performance on the table. If you go long travel you'll be...
I have drooled over this at Overland Flagstaff for years, great to see it launched and alive in the wild. Those LCA's look like 8 hours of welding each. Users should atleast plan on a stiffer coil spring with all that beautiful leverage.
I live in the mountains and play in Baja. I'd love to have paddle shifters without using a Raptor steering wheel. Sometimes you want to launch out of a corner or anticipate a hill.
We have had vehicles on display (a Bronco one year, and a Sprinter the following year) in the LA Auto Show, in the Overland Display area (Where Dodge used to showcase their stuff). The Hyundai Engineers were all over the Overland vehicles both years I was there. Had a former Motor Trend guy...
Drop shippers always add risk and layers or bureaucracy. The OEM manufacturer has no way of knowing if the end user even ordered the right thing and no real way of doing a refund without taking a loss. On a tight timeline ? Never use a drop shipper. Lesson learned but it should be pretty...
I know folks that have removed the sway bar as those shocks can see and adjust side to side in real time.
Anyways 2 and 3 is super soft. Great for onroad plush. I only need to run 5 or 6 on a fire road but 8 if I want to be aggressive. 10 if your going all out and want to hit all the whoops.
I'm not an Icon guy, but I know folks that love them, and I do drive fast offroad. You want high speed response to be stiff. If in doubt I would have slow and high speed as stiff as you can comfortably manage.
Your question is too nuanced to answer with a definitive number as there are...
Folks do go off into the desert and disperse camp. I have not done that myself but I assume you at least need the KOH entry fee paid. I don't know current attendance but its North of 50,000 So you will be driving for a bit
Bronco Nation does have their own camp area. Last year it was right...
I have one its either Mishimoto or ADD. Probably ADD. Its a high mount offset toward the driver side. Make an offer. Ships from Flagstaff AZ - which sounds like a pain.
I have had to swap springs front and rear at times to get the my setup perfect. Just OK wasn't an option at the time.
It sounds like a heavier spring is needed. I happen to have 2 sets of stiffer springs. If you go that route we can try to decipher the weight ratings and give you a very fair...
