After all final checks I went for a drive
This setup may not be for everyone
Super soft.
Parts used 1" spring spacer (front drivers side)
4 rear Honda crv springs 1995-2001
SUP 011076
KYB RC5814
KILEN 54014
1 complete coil needs cutting off for rears
I took it from bottom
Shocks were from vit-mods +3"
Note I had to use my old Bush sleeves
Ones in shocks are a little to long (could be cut down)
Up Travel to bump stops 4.5" front rear 5" (leaving around 1" left on shock up travel)
Down travel they go far enough for springs to fall out
Spring clamps been ordered
I cannot say how much lift it gives as I didn't measure
I would guess ~3"

When you say soft what are you talking, compliant off road but still drives ish on road or so soft it's oft road only? Still cool either way.

It feels a little floaty drives over speed bumps well
Gives a lot of body roll on corners (no arb fitted)
Not had chance to try off road but should get good articulation (or fall over)
cost me less than 200
Might save and get 4 adjustable shocks i'm happy with how soft the springs are

Have you done anything about castor correction? Looking to replace my trialled so need suspension set up, soft sounds brilliant for what I want. Did you cut spring down because it was too long?

I was already running +3" castor arms all round
Yes chopped off coil to make it sit level
Groundworker you may need to chop more off to suit your truck
