I called MOOG customer service and asked for the actual rate of the Armada spring. It is drumroll.....534lbin...! The data plate shows a 2980 front curb weight take out 400lbs for wheel weight and a arm weight. That should land the sprung weight around 2500lbs. 2500/534=4.68 inches of...

It also looks like the hmmwv was rear ended and has sheets metal damage.

Welded in receiver hitch. I removed pintle. If I do need one I can make a pintle receiver from leftover parts. It is 18" tube welded to airlift bumper and braced at other end with angle welded to receiver an it bolted to bumper brakes. Still needs to be repainted but its too cold. Also added...

Do I read this correctly that if you have a mechanical shifter you can select all gears mechanically with a software change. Meaning you could have full control with the hardware you have installed. If so you could remove the detents or what mechanism usually stops the shifter in a gear...

I've been reading up on the 6l. Can it be shifted to all gears including park electronically?

Wow. The rpms do drop in last gear. I most definitely would consider this mod. Is there any concern with offroading and the converter lockup?

I'm guessing OD is drive. P,R,N the same. If you pull the shifter to 1 is that 1st gear or a higher gear? Are all gears capable of being selected by the shifter?

I have been following this thread from the beginning. I am very interested in this modification. How does your shifter work? Have you seen any negatives so far? When will you have a complete kit less transmission?(never hurts to ask, right?) Congratulations!! It doesn't seem like it took long...

Ok tube ordered. It is possible I may put the front springs on Monday or Tuesday. What is the final say for front length?

I was also figuring a section of 1" id tube to cut and tig weld as a flange. I was figuring 3 inches per spacer to allow for screw-ups also

1/2" id is perfect. 1/2 bolt fits perfectly. The tubing shouldn't cost anywhere near that. What grade steel did you look at? Think I paid $40 for 3' of 4130. 3 times what I needed and also no need for chromoly, but I like it...

I wouldn't really recommend going with the exact shocks I did. Although the fitment is great, the valving is too light. I'd recommend calling Bilstein and seeing if you can custom order a set with 360/80 (or maybe even 400/120) valving. I know they will re-valve shocks. I haven't found...

Awesome!! That video has been one of the best of hmmwv I've seen in a while. Plus you have some pretty good driving skill. Is the hmmwv fairly stock outside of suspension? I want to follow your formula for springs and shocks. And to be honest I'm getting pretty excited. The springs weren't too...

This guy? He looks to be very familiar with hmmwv and offloading both. The video gets good at 2:30

Has the beam pattern about half way thru.

I sure would like to see a picture of that adapter. What was the ID and OD?

What type of adapter did you use? Then what type of shock? I might be mistaken but I think the shocks are the "limit strap" for most modern trucks. We would just need to get the right length shock.

I'm thinking there is no reason we couldn't get a humvee to ride the same as a pickup truck or large suv with the right spring and shock setup.

Well... my rears are on upside down.. cut side is in the perch. I envision in my mind a bushing with factory shock pin OD and typical civilian shock ID to make the plethora of stock pickup/suv shocks avaliable for use. I do understand the built in bumpstop and the shock being used as a limit...

I researched lights from cheap to expensive. I tried the jwspeaker knockoffs that worked and didn't work at the same time. I just received hella h4 housings and am waiting on the bulbs to come in. I'm hoping the glass housing will have good optics. The h4 design will allow me to choose bulbs if...
