I want more flex!

I put pro comp coils in the front of my truck. I took it out on the trails and my front end wouldnt even move. The truck flexed more on stock coils than these pro comp coils. I am lookin for a coil with a alot of flex and suspension travel. I Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Will

Don't forget that thpse springs are new and once they get broke in they will flex better. Also what did you do for radius arms (i'ms assuming the truck's been lifted)?

well thats one of your problems, your coils... those pro comp coils have been known to be pretty stiff. cage offroad coils prolly have the flexiest springs along with BC bronco coils. wild horses and JBG's coils are also pretty flexy but they can be too stiff sometimes

also your TTB is prolly limiting your travel quite a bit. look into a solid axle and you will be surprised what a difference it makes!

make sure your shocks aren't holding you back as well as sway bars or trac bar

Oh one more thing, do you still have a stabilzeer bar on there (front or rear), as on the ttb this will make a HUGE difference (well a very noticeable one at least is what i noticed when messing around with the one on my flareside).
