will higher/longer coils lift my ride?

[boybi]

para sa GU patrol. kapapalit ko palang ng shocks pero wala gaano improvement sa tagtag. Freeman suggested na mas mag-iimprove ito kung palitan ko din yung coil springs ko.

[pajerokid]

taller springs will likely lift your ride :wink:

[OTEP]

Yes they will lift your ride. Yung shocks hindi naman involved gaano sa ride height. Their job is to dampen whell movements.

[boybi]

wala kasi ako balak mag pa lift. gusto ko lang mabawasan tagtag sa ride.

[Ungas]

Try to drive around town dismounting the shocks and let me know if that is the softness that you like. :mrgreen:

Adding a couple of inches with light duty coils will definitely change your ride handling and its stiffness.

better or worse?

[Ungas]

Depends on how you judge the stiffness. Etong gamit ko heavy duty coils, I don't find it stiff but other people pointed out harsh ride. Iba-iba ang taste ng tao pag dating sa stiffness level ng suspension.

For me, it could be better if I don't load the vehicle that much, no trailers, no additional vehicle accesories weighing more than 20lbs.

in my experience, the new patrol's suspension is harder than the old one. so if you dont want to change your springs but want a smoother ride you have to play around with the shocks set-up. this will depend on your preference. why dont you try other brands and settle for the one that suits your needs.

how you do this is a problem, maybe you can ask the store if you can try it out. or you can find some friends that have the same ride as yours but with different shocks installed.

try mo yon sirang shocks ko, guaranteed soft na soft ang ride :lol: PEACE.

[Freeman]

There are TJM Springs with standard height, they will still improve comfort and handling.

The new Patrol is definitely heavier than the old Patrol, that is why their springs have a higher spring rate (firmer). A shock upgrade will not significantly improve ride comfort.

[Freeman]

I have a pair of standard rear springs that will not lift your Patrol. PHP 8,000 per pair - installed.

[boybi]

how about sa front? anong brand ng springs mo?

[Freeman]

Boybi, the same (TJM) too - but the rear springs of your Patrol are the ones that need to be addressed.

Freeman, di ba kapag bago pa ang springs, matigas pa?

[Freeman]

Freeman, di ba kapag bago pa ang springs, matigas pa?

NO. The improvement is noticed immediately.

NO. The improvement is noticed immediately.

if that's the case, reserve a pair for me :wink:

[Freeman]

Thanks!

[boybi]

Freeman, i'll be in manila tomorrow. baka pakabit ko na yung springs kapag maaga ko natapos mga gagawin ko.

[Freeman]

Boybi, any feedback re spring upgrade?

[boybi]

ok naman kung maliliit na lubak. pero sa mga malalaking lubak/potholes nauuntog sa ceiling passenger sa 2nd row, lalo na sa 3rd row.
