The build of my flag ship Black Pearl

And maybe lower the transfer rings a little more.

I would definitely get heavier springs for that setup. Does it sit any higher without the trailer?

About 3/4- 1 inch higher. It has a really heavy ass. I’m at 2 1/4” preload to get it just shy of 4” of lift. I was going to check if the front and rear springs were interchangeable. My rear is (top to bottom) 200/250 combo and the front is 250/250. If I can I’ll put the 200 from the back into the front and so on. If not the springs don’t cost to much.

If I remember they are about $150 per spring. The fronts are different lengths I believe.

Was just looking at them. They’re about 100 each. Now to determine if 250 or 300 is best for my weight.
Makes sense they are different as the coilovers themselves are different lengths.

The fronts are 12” rears are 10” I think couple hundred ain’t bad

The spr25-10-250 are even less. Only 77 per spring.

This is after disconnecting the trailer. They aren’t recovering well. Going to move the transfer rings down more. It was bottoming out a few times.

Man, that's crazy. Those can't be the right springs.

On another note. The Jeep drove great! No shimmies or vibrations. Definitely going to need to regear. But can do 70 easy on flat, struggles at 45 up hill. It also was less darty then I thought it would be with about 3* caster.

I thought it’s weird they have 200/250 in the rear with 250/250 in the front. Pretty sure I’m going to get 250s for the rear.

I thought the same thing the compression rate is 200/250 per inch the heavier spring needs to be on the bottom

I think it’ll handle the weight better being 250/250 rate. That 200 spring isn’t very happy.

I wouldn’t waste your time with 250. I would get at least 300.

This ^^^ 300 is what I would recommend.

Good to know! Would you say a 300/300 combo or a 250/300 combo?

300 over 250 is where I would start

I had thought about that, but wasn’t sure about running a heavier spring on top. Thank you!

Pretty sure Moochie runs something like 550 over 300 on his. No issues with heavier on top.
