[QUOTE="TRD, post: 590595, member: 11247"] [b]Re:[/b] Sorry I'm late to the party. We won't know if your rates are correct until we know your preload. Measurments necessary to get the right springs: Measure shaft at ride height Measure tender coil height at ride height (if equipped) Go to full droop Measure tender coil height (if tender coil opens up) Measure gap between tender coil and spring perch (if there is a gap) If no gap or tender coil doesn't open, measure top cap to spring perch Loosen perch until springs start to rattle around Measure top cap to spring perch again Measure piston rod showing I don't recommend playing with oil viscosity, there are plenty of options available by working with the valving.
