RadFlo Group Buy

[TBYODA]

Dang it. My front came up 3/4" when I took my winch off. It's come back down 1/2" in 2 days since. haha

I NEED SPRINGS!!!!

You got to post the length when you remove them. Want to see how much they shrunk from stock. Lol

[ErikSS]

I can do that. Part of the problem is the weight. I have the Barton Bumper, with 2" reciever, with 5" lights, with stinger bar, with winch and plate, with Rad skid, with Oil skid.... haha Poor springs never had a chance. I knew this when I started. I didn't have the $1000 to get them when I lifted. I had full intentions of getting them as soon as money allowed.... Then I went off-roading instead of saving. haha

Nothing wrong with that

I got my old collapsed front I think still and some Moog 14 to measure against

[ErikSS]

I know AJ is planning to take my 3" front lift spacers. He only has the 2.5" right now. If timing works out right we should get an expanded measurement as soon as my Radflos get here!

Felipe has placed his order. He's a happy camper!

Is everyone getting same 600 rate springs?

What length? I know Barton got half inch over stock?

Barton and previous threads on radglo said 2.5 inch shock but Johnny's site says 2. Which is it?

Are there options or are these all being built the same?

Is silver the only color for coils or are there other powder coat available?

[HARDTRAILZ]

Please correct if wrong but color is silver or chrome.

They are 2 and 2.5 was mentioned as comparison in previous threads.

All 3 sets currently are built the same length and spring rate?

No one has tried a spring closer to 88/89s with 450/500 rate?

Mentions of an inch longer being possible were made but never confirmed?

Could their be an advantage to a 500 spring and extra length if going to up.near the 4 inch lift mark like I currently sit?

Or could a 650 rate be better with full bumper, tube brush guard, skids, winch?

So far two people in this group buy I heard from are just going with what was built previously. Worriesme that when reading how the length and rate was chosen had so little reported research, there may be even better or more performance to be gained with some tweaking.

[mikekey]

You're seriously asking all this now? Are you buying a set or just going to continue pooping on them? I was and have been under impression these were adjustable up to 4 inches. A matter of fact, I asked this very question earlier on in this thread or the original before the group buy got rolling. And was told yes, this is the case. If that's wrong then I'm going to be incredibly pissed.

Barton has a front bumper so I wasn't to worried about the spring rate.

[HARDTRAILZ]

Buying.

[HARDTRAILZ]

I was under the impression these are custom and have many options but when I went to order there's no options or information asked of me.

I went back and researched everything I could find and nothing seems to address the questions I'm asking. I've waited to avoid ruffling any feathers by asking questions until I was for sure able to purchase such a product.

[mikekey]

You're not ruffling my feathers, I'm just going to feel incredibly stupid if I made bad assumptions because I wasn't as detailed with my inquiry as you. I'm hoping Johnny can answer your questions soon.

I made the assumption that there would be info needed to get these dialed in to each buyer's setup. So I poorly assumed, but when a couple things fell into place this weekend, sold a truck, got some well paying sidework paid up, I decided to put my money where my mouth is and buy.

Then I found it seemed to be a.. buy this setup, without options. Surprised, I asked a couple buyers and they said we ordered what worked. I researched and found everyone seemed to be doing that, but feel there should not be a one coilover fits all. We only have length and rate to adjust, but better than nothing. We can adjust from lowered to lifted and 600 rate may not be the best for all. Seems Radflo would know better than anyone. I doubt someone running an inch of lift with only a bumper would want same coilover rate and length as someone running as heavy as I am with tube brushguard and skids and nearly 4 inches lift. Maybe a high rate spring and heavy front end is what destroyed Roadies Icon's. Johnny says his 650 is too much but has not tried other rates.

If we are all ordering the same and as things possibly fail, Radflo will help out with replacing springs of different rates, that makes sense, but if this is a one shot deal I would think we should be getting something matched to each of our setups.

Moots does not have a front bumper. Just like you!

Huh?

Not sure who this is directed at.

[mikekey]

I think it's directed at me. He likes to remind me of my lack of front bumper.

[dvanbramer88]

Somebody said "Mike and Matt both had bumpers" or something along those lines. I can't find it but I remember reading it this morning.

Anyway, I also thought to myself, wait, moots doesn't have a front bumper. But it is possible that that person meant Regulator also.

I think that is what Erik is getting at.

Killer Post Man!

Thanks...

Looks like it was Mikekey and he edited the post. That's what Erik was getting at though.
