    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    Found this place where you can look up by travel, collapse and extended length, I do like the ride better than ever, but a average shock would do the trick. If the fabricator declines my request, I will probably do it myself like, find some 1/2 ton truck shocks and fabricate the mounting Wish I...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    After playing with tire pressure and different road test, I found out that the coils make a difference, but not at $1,200.00 one. So this is where I am, I remembered seeing an old car on the road with dead shocks and how the car was bouncing up and down, then it hit me, that's kind of what I...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    I got the Black Rhino Arsenal 20 X 12 with the -44 offset, Nitto's Ridge Grappler 38 X 13.5, they have the beads for balancing, nice and smooth ride.

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    Got the front done, and this is my personal opinion about these coils I don't know if there's a break in period or not , but for the the first road test on a paved road, I cannot say that there's a big difference. I drove on the same MI roads with potholes and bumps that I drive to and from...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    Sorry about the delay on this, but the rear is finally done, I had a broken bolt in the half shafts so I replaced them both and did the hub service at the same time. As stated before new 10K shocks were also installed. Since I usually do the work myself, I did find that two ratchet straps will...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    We hit the trails last week and the washboard effect was so bad that the ride was not fun, so I just bit the bullet and placed the order for the soft ride springs from American Humvee, I will provide an update and review, I will have pics of before and after plus measurements. To be continued....

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    This is a stock unit, no lift kit. I have a bit of rubbing from the side rails at the front wheels, I will just have to cut them a bit, I also run them with the balancing beads. All in at Discount Tires for about $3,200.00

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    I got the Black Rhino Arsenal 20 X 12 with the -44 offset, Nitto's Ridge Grappler 38 X 13.5, they have the beads for balancing, nice and smooth ride. With the -44 offset, they just stand out a bit more than the original wheels & tires

    Adding Reverse Lights

    I just took a feed that is on when the key is in the on position, it's been a while so I'm not certain which circuit, the lights that I use do not draw a lot since they are LED's

    I did not have any issues, the wires are pretty hefty, mind you someone might chime in and prove me wrong...
