Cargomaxx 905HD - and other rear spring options?

[ForkHorn]

Is there any experience with the 905HD spring? Or a rear spring that will provide 1" plus of rake after leveling?

I take delivery of a 26 BigHorn Hurricane on Monday, and will be leveling/lifting immediately for a 34-35" tall tire.

The easy button seems to be Eibach Stage 2. The problem? Everything I read says you are close to dead level or 1/2" of rake at best. (I know that's the point of a level)

I personally prefer a 1" to 1.5" rake. I look like less of a goober from squatting when I am towing or coming home from the feed store.

So what to do? Sure I could just settle for less lift in the front. But I'm set on needing the full 2.5" or whatever is needed to make a big tire not look so stuffed.

Naturally that leaves me to the rear springs - just go taller. Most of what I'm finding list a 1.5 inch at best lift, or half an inch over ORP/Rebel. (Icon, Bilstein, Eibach)

Options -
Cargomaxx 905HD (listed as 2.5 inch! Or 1.5 inch over rebel)
a 1 inch spacer with the eibach spring
1 inch spacer with the ORP spring
Carli Rebel Spring? (Is it 1" taller than the factory rebel/orp spring?)

The 905HD sounds like it could be a winner. As well as the Carli. I'd rather not use a spacer but it also wouldn't be the end of the world.

Complications? Will the eibach rear shocks be long enough for an extra inch of lift?

Eibach stage 2 with a 1 inch spacer may just be the way to go - definitely the easiest, unless we can find first hand knowledge of the 905HD.

Will Eibach rear shocks handle an extra 1"?

Lots of Rebel guys have done this with the Bilstein 5100's and their factory raised rear rebel spring.

Fell off the deep end doing research and it seems like the Carli Rebel HD springs may be what I'm looking for.

Now the question is - go full Carli commuter?

Or Eibach front coilovers, Eibach rear shocks, and the Carli HD springs? - still don't know if the Eibach shocks can handle that extra height. Probably will limit droop/possibly cause damage to shocks?

Can’t speak to the rest but i love my cargomax progressive rate springs.

just go full carli commuter. least amount of the headaches you need.

Carli HD springs are fine, but those are designed for when you have ~500lb of constant weight. you will need to calculate your weight and decide.

My before, with around 500lb constant weight:


My current, with about ~800lb over the rear axle and ~200-300lb in the front with skid plates, fridge, powerstation packs, etc.

Update: I did indeed go with the Carli Commuter kit with the Rebel HD springs. I like the freedom to be able to add weight without worrying about sag and actually enjoy a little bit of rake unloaded. I found someone's setup unloaded on Facebook, and liked the small rake look.

The only non Carli suspension item - I went with Zone Off-road UCA's.

Will update when I receive everything and get it on the truck.
