[QUOTE="mi2itsdl, post: 380977, member: 17217"] excellent thread. Been trying to sort out GAZ coilovers for some time now. Trying to find out the correct height shock and poundage from the spring is tough. I have an adjusted beam, t2d drop spindles and slam shocks (coilovers). On my second set of coilovers as the lower bushes were shot, now have a new set with polly bushes. Although the t2d shocks are meant to be too soft, they are a hard to compress and fit, as the shocks seem too long. Had to use a flat piece of of steel to protect the wheel arch and a crew bar !! The height between my upper and lower shock mounts is 15". How did you come to the height of 16" for the shocks, as I was reccomended 17" by GAZ. Also, you seemed to have gained 1/2 an inch in height, was that on purpose, or is it just a case of winding them up a bit, to remove that distance? Very interested in a set with 150 lb springs, if I can retain the same height and get full suspension travel. keep up the good info. [/QUOTE]
