Dislocation cones?

Yes :lol:sum

Both top and bottom relocation cones work well, though there are some designs that work better than others and some like these below with relativerly straight sides which are best avoided like the plage if you springs are going to dislocate by more than a few inchs. If a spring comes right off the end it have no chance of relocating it and can resulting springs being force sideways in to tyres.


If you can fabricate (or know a friend that can) them bottom relocation cones are very easy to make by just welding a few short lengths of bar to the bottom spring seat and making a clamp for the top of the spring to the chassis. When making mine I spent more time watching paint dry.


As for lowered front turrets, these DO NOT increase the range of travel, only move the travel range further down. The benefit of this is with lift springs and relativerly short dampers as moving the travel down can make better use of the availible travel and thats about it. Fit them with longer dampers and you can end up with no upwards suspension travel. If you have 11" dampers on the front as well as the back then raised turrets would probably be more suitable.

my front cones are way too short...by about 2 inches  :shock: and always go back home with a load bang
need to sort out my front end mefinks, it gets on me nerves hearing the bang as it goes back in
rear end ive got reverse location its brilliant, and silent
you dont hear them in operation
and all at the cost of £0

lee celtic:
Reverse location please explain :?

extreme90:
fix the spring to the chassis
and let it dislocate at the axle
the spring will naturally go back into seat with the natural movement of the axle
rather than forcing it into place in conventional location
you dont hear my rear springs go in and out
just the fronts  :roll:
