Suzuki: Sj 410 coil suspension, jp eater, sure what size


Question
Hi David,

Which coil springs do you suggest are the best to use for the sj410 coil spring conversion?? Im looking for a relatively decent on-road stability with lots of comfort and flexability off-road. My vehicle is used mostly on road but i do the ocassional regional 4X4 challenge. I have the standard sj410v engine so the vehicle weight is about the same as any other standard sj410. I'd also like the springs to give me an additional 60mm-80mm lift compared to the original sj410 ground clearance with by the standard leaf springs, as i will be fitting 31" tires. I see that you can buy a conversion kit from rocky road (http://www.rocky-road.com/coil.html) which comes with the 175 lbs springs, not sure what size they are. But the coil conversion kit is a bit out of my budget...
I read that you used wrangler springs on your samurai, what model wrangler springs are they? And what lift has it given you? Is it possible for you to send me pictures of your suspension modifications?

Thank - y0u,

Answer
I used stock wrangler springs, and not the heavy duty version.
My kid put a video of us playing on youtube, it's under "david scott samurai crystal mountain", and it shows what kind of articulation the Rocky Road JP Eater Kit is capable of.
Unless you really NEED the extra articulation in competition, the wrangler kit is pretty good.
