Dislocation Cones?.....

[muky-kid.]

:? Firstly evening all, my question is and has probberly been asked before but here goes. I thinking of purchaseing a set of dislocation cones for my Rangie. Are they a good accessory or just a gimmick. Or am i best sticking to located springs, the rangie has a 2" lift anyway but i thought the cones would give better articulation esspecially on the rear. Do any forum members use them and are they any good. :)

i think disco inferno has them installed

ask him he'll surely advise u on them :)

they dont give you anymore articulation but they make sure if you pop a spring they locate back easy

Now then,

Dislocation cones won't make any difference to your articulation.

However, if your shocks have sufficient travel to let your springs dislocate then fit 'em - cos relocating springs with pointy sticks and lots of poking in a muddy puddle ain't fun (BTDT).

Beyond that, sussy travel gets a bit completed, involving shock lengths, top locations, spring lengths and a beer at the Muddywebs  8) .

Does that help, or have I just made matter worse?  :-s

I fitted them oin mine because I'd had enough of borrowing a hi lift jack to put them back in again after they'd no relocated properly.

Wether springs dislocating is good is another discussion altogether.

Makes a very disconcerting noise IMHO 'specialy when you don't know what it is. :?
