Product Details
Outback Coil Springs by TeraFlex®. The Outback coil springs received special consideration and attention concerning spring rate tuning and development. Dedicated overland travel requires the use of specific spring rates suited to heavy loads and continuous mechanical resonance that react differently than 'standard' coil spring rates. TeraFlex engineered load-enhanced heavy-duty spring rate coils to meet the performance demands of a fully loaded Jeep and maintain the lift height. Because of the load enhanced spring rate, a firmer ride will be experienced with an empty payload.
Off-roading in a Jeep is great fun. But don't expect an unmodified Jeep to go over every rock and tree stump you see. Don't expect it to be able to hillclimb in mud or slog through deep, loose sand. Don't expect it to make the length of Baja unscathed. The first thing you need is bigger tires. Those tires are too big to fit under the Jeep's already capacious wheel wells. The second thing you need is more ground clearance, to let your Jeep clear big logs and climp over rocky protuberances. Raising a Jeep is more complex than simply adding longer springs. Longer springs and longer shocks are where most lift kits start, but every additional inch means you have to modify other things, like the steering system, the drivetrain and even the wiring and brake lines. Lifting the body on the frame is good for another inch or two, but a serious lift will require a host of modifications.
