Perhaps some sort of trial/vehicle test could be arranged?

That'll be Turtle, Andy (from MK4x4) and either Jason or Guy110 ('cos they're always breaking stuff)

The issue, as it usually does, has turned to whether lifting your springs out of their seats provides any real benefit. And on that, I think you are right in saying that there will never be a "right" answer.

its just allowing those people who fit cones in the thinking they may get extra traction from it see that fitting them primarily helps the spring back into place. :wink: ..let the debate continue I say!
Bulli,
looking at your signature, thats an impressive list of spares you have there - do you plan getting a vehicle to put them on ?
:wink:

Muddyweb, spot on. There is no right answer. I made this comment last week - no one needs to prove anything as it's almost impossible to prove. And just to be pedantic, the need to lift your springs out of their seats can be avoided by fitting long travel springs in some cases, thus negating the need for cones. It doesn't avoid the fact that long travel suspension of any kind is there to keep your wheels closer to the ground. Correct?
Davidlandy, as usual you've missed the point :wink: We all fit dislocation cones to put our springs back in when they have popped out, FACT. The question your side seem to avoid answering is WHY the spring popped out in the 1st place ? If your set up doesn't allow your suspension to travel further than the spring length then there's no need. In your case Dave there is no need as your springs are held in place with a pair of your wifes tights. I would hazard a guess that anyone who's springs do pop out have intentionally made alterations to allow their suspension to travel further. And why would they want to do that? Can someone give me the answer?
Bulli, what are gayspokes ?
I still cannot undertand why this causes such debate. In my mind keeping a wheel on the ground under 95% of circumstances must have a benefit (no matter how small) on traction or stability. We all do it different ways.
Has anyone given a thought to the guy who asked the question at the start of this thread. Bet he wished he'd never asked now :lol:

:?
--- Quote from: "Dave" ---Has any one got pics of how dislocating cones fit. How they sit inside the spring and on the top. Basically how they are held in place. Cheers.

Had to look what the original question was :oops:
I've just ordered a 2" lift kit from Paddocks, being a mechanical fool, it's booked into the garage next week to fit the lot, INCLUDING DIS/RE-LOCATION CONES, whether I need them or not.
Dave, if you are still having problems, let me know and I can:
a) ask the garage how they did it
b) take pictures for you
c) find out roughly how much it cost to fit them (or how much it would have cost if I hadn't been having all the rest done at the same time.
