2wd lift with Moog 9012 coils with Rancho RS55609 shocks

[doublebass]

Hello , i want to raise again the van , i have 2” pucks , i ask to overland some tips for the front and they say coil springs moog 9012 with rancho rs55609, is it right ? And about the ball joint ? Maybe I need the spacer for the ball joint?! Thanks

Who gave you that info on Moog 9012? Just wondering, as the wire thickness is .76" vs .81" stock springs, plus the spring rate is 498 lbs per inch vs 622 lbs per inch stock. That info I got off RockAuto if you look at Moog CC640, which is the stock replacement for the Astro. For the record, I'm not an expert, just stating some facts. Looks like the 9012 springs are for a Lincoln Mark V.

Send a pm to 97cargohauler his van is a lifted rear drive. best bet is to ask someone who has done it successfully.

I would say he knows what he is talking about. Compare the two yourself from Moog website, the 9012 are rated for a heavier load, are longer when unloaded, and are a constant rate vs variable rate.

I write to cargocrawler but i think he is busy! I have buy the springs And also the shocks ! Next weekend I try to install! Thanks

Lots of people don't like getting PMs for stuff that is already in the forum or is better off in the forum for all to see. Not saying that is the case, but it's a possibility.

I think you bought the right stuff, good luck and be careful installing!

Hey! I have replace the coils And the shocks! Super ! Need a bit of adjustement in the no sway bar, a bit scared for the springs compressor from Mercedes but fit fine! Sorry for the bad english and sorry for the metric pics ! Now i have 30” tires , rancho and moog 9012 springs , i have replace the ball joints with 1” taller from rockauto! In the back custom hangers and shackles +5inch , springs leaf from s10 but not very well because they are too olds! +2” pucks , i have the subframe spacers ready to install from journey’s offroad but i don’t know if i have some issue with trans lever/shift because they are 1” taller ! That’s all

Fan-freaking-tastic DB! Glad to see you got everything in safely!


BTW: Don't worry about your English, it's just fine and much better than my Italian!

Do you remember what the part number was for the 1" taller ball joints on rockauto? From one of Shadow's old posts he said that his 9012 springs sagged after a few months. Have you noticed any sort of sagging since you installed them?
