Sorry 250/300 in the front 250/250 in the rear. That’s what I’m running and it rides great. But yeah just lower the rear more. I wouldn’t want to go taller

Edit: I’m going to look tomorrow morning but I think I’m confusing myself at this point. I’m pretty sure I’m 250 all around

Lower the rears. I would also go 250/250 on the fronts and the rears if you plan on adding more weight

Thanks, let me know what you have

How little preload is too little?

The rear Coilovers are in. I just need to figure out the rear bump stops

Even with 1.25” & 1.75” preload on the rears and 2.25&2.75” preload on the front, I’m still sitting with a substantial rake to the front. The front needs to come up about 1” or more. If I swap a 250 front spring for a 300, would that help to bring the nose up?

So nice Bill, did your adjuster knobs hit like Jeff’s did?

Look great buddy. Although, that cutting....we all really do hold you to a higher expectation. Lol. Let me know what you do. I have the same take and it drives me crazy. However I really think I want my ass end down more.

Well my client was running a few minutes behind on one of my sites, so what to do with 40 minutes of extra time??

They really do take it to another level in both flex and bombing dirt roads. Like so many upgrades, I wish I would have done it sooner.

Sweet! How much bump are you running in the rear?

I think as an experiment I'm gonna unhook my rear sway bar in Moab one day and see if it makes a difference. I know it did when we did the forktruck flex by a
considerable amount.
 
Every once in a while I drive my Jeep to job sites instead of the company work truck... it’s soooo tempting to try and get up some dirt or gravel mounds, but I’m not certain on how the contractor would feel about it.
