View Full Version : IRS Shock Springs 350# or 750#?

I assembled my rear shocks this weekend and saw that the springs were stamped 750#, the packing list also says FFR# 25961 Spring 2.5" ID x 8" length 750# but the Assembly Manual (printed and electronic) both say 350#.

Please tell me which is correct (750# I hope!)

I noticed that in the manual.

Based on (a lot of) IRS related posts I've read, I'm pretty sure that they are supposed to be 750#. I think 350# is a copy/paste (mistake) from the 3-link instructions.

750# came with my kit also (7477).

HTH,

Mike

On the Koni shocks 750 is the correct spring for the rear, and I think the fronts are 450. The older Bilsteins were shipped with 350lb springs on all four corners which is what the manual is referencing.

Listen to Brian not me :-) The Bilsteins maybe came with 500 lbs on all four corners?? I can't remember now....

The IRS rear uses 750# springs. The 350# springs are for the 3 or 4 link solid axle rear ends.

Best regards,

Brian @ FFR

Good to know, Thanks!
OK, maybe a manual update is in order then, to avoid future confusion.

btw, my new front Konis are 500#.
