New 37" Mud Hogs ..

[dayusmc]

I had the 37" Mud Hogs put on today. I think it looks right, I might have been able to go to a 38x12.5 but the 37x12.5 look good.
The back is just 2" Mopar lift springs, the front is Synergy 3" springs. I am still waiting on the Front 2" Mopar springs to come in and I will swap them and add a 1" front spacer so it sits level like it does now ...

Out of curiosity, why do all that work on the front? Is there an issue with the Synergy springs? I feel like having a spring instead of a spring/spacer combo would have tons more advantages than disadvantages.

Run the same tires on my mojave with AEV 2" spacer lift. Stock mojave wheels with 1 5" wheel spacers. They've been great for 10k miles so far.

I don't loke the way the Synergy springs ride. I have tried a few different springs in this truck so far, the Mopar 2" lift springs ride the best so far.
The Clayton 2.5" springs I had in the front were awful, same with the clayton 1.5" rear springs. The synergy springs in the front are better, but kind of soringy.
I put the Mopar 2" springs in the back and it rides good. So the same are going in the front. I am adding a spacer because I don't like rake.

Makes a bit more sense that way. Spacers always work well to dial in the stance perfectly, so I get that aspect. I was just curious on the issue with the springs. I run 3" springs in the rear, and 4" diesel specific springs in the front with a half inch spacer on top for that very same reason.

The Mopar 2" rear springs give a nice ride. I am hoping the front ones do too.
Also the Mopar springs don't squeek. The Clayton springs made too many noises. I want the truck to ride like stock.

Since my G is black the particular fender look great. On certain color, and for sure yours, the painted fenders just look better.

The Mud Hogs are actually quieter than the Firestone Destination MTs my old JTW had. Possibly quieter than the Falkens my JTR has right now.

Your battle with springs seems like it could be better fought with shocks.

But using coil spacers and shorter springs can give some advantages. You won’t get the travel, but you can run a softer spring.

Travel comes from the shocks, not the coils. The free length of the coils determines how long of a shock can be run, so if you look at it that way you're also correct! Chaos.

Yes, available travel comes from the shocks. The compressed length is the bigger factor in how long of a shock you can run. You have to make the shock body fit.

After the free length of the spring the travel is obviously useless. Your shocks might support more travel, but there’s not much benefit when the spring isn’t providing some downward force for traction.

I am running Fox 2.5" Elite shocks...
