Short springs and long shocks....
If the TRD springs are too short to remain captive when
the suspension is at full droop, you should investigate the use of "keeper" springs. These are short, closely wound auxilliary springs that sit on top/under the main spring. Their only purpose is to keep the spring captive, and under normal driving they are fully compressed, and act as a spacer. If the wheels leave the ground and the suspension goes to full droop, the keeper spring expands to maintain seating pressure on the main spring. You will see the keeper coils included as an integral part and wound on the end of "progressive" springs such as Jamex and similar. With separate keeper springs you will need an alignment collar to hold the ends of the two springs in line. This meens the keeper will butt against whichever end of the main spring is closed and ground. Hope this helps Cheers... jondee86 The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
