Heavy duty front springs
Hello guys. I am putting a jakes 7 inch lift and 14 inch rims with 23 inch tires on my g16 a. The stock cart sags terribly when I set in it so I would like to upgrade springs when putting it back together. I can't seem to find heavy duty front springs are they available Any where. Or is there a retrofit.
Thanks. Daryl |

Re: Heavy duty front springs
Daryl, need more info. here. Didn't know Jakes made a 7" lift just 6. Here's what I did on mine. "Split shaft collers" Worked for almost 4 yrs now.

Re: Heavy duty front springs
If you have the adjustable shock-mounts,you can try raising the Driver-Side one hole.Yamahas' are known for Left-Front lean.Also try swapping the shocks side-to-side,the other isn't worn as bad.Not sure about heavier coils for the front,I've seen them for the rear,but not the front.Hope this helps.

Re: Heavy duty front springs
Where can you get these or are they custom made? I have a 6" "A" arm lift from Jakes and yes the front end leans in.

Re: Heavy duty front springs
Place like Granger, or a bearing, belt and chain industrial supply place. about $4. a ea.
The wheels lean in at the top right? This will fix it. |

Re: Heavy duty front springs
Apparently the double a arm 7 inch lift is new because my local dealer didn't know anything about it either I ordered them straight from Jake's Monday

Re: Heavy duty front springs
Do Do you guys think that you could take a pair of the heavy duty rear springs and cut them off to height and use them on the front. Or are the front and rear springs a different diameter altogether? What about rubber snubbers like they use in NASCAR

Re: Heavy duty front springs
Neon, make sure the toe-in is correct. That really helps camber on this type of suspension. Do that first

Re: Heavy duty front springs
If you move the shocks down on the upper-mount,it will increase ride-height.If you cut the springs down,they probably won't sit correctly on the seat.Definitely re-adjust the front-end alignment,it will change things.
