[QUOTE="rpf500, post: 417065, member: 6870"] Ok, I am an idiot. Got you all thinking tho. Apparently when you droop the suspension, the dual rate slider hides a few inches of shaft from idiots like me. So, rear shaft at droop =14" and not 12.5" like I said before. Front has 2 spots so will list both. shaft to top of spring "cup" = 13.5" if the cup was gone, it would be 14.5" So, current coils are 14" with unknown rate. What you guys say is Id go to a 16" bottom spring. What i can't get my mind around is if i go 16" the preload nuts will go up. A good thing. But, will they go up enough to drop me down in height? I am trying to figure out where to weigh it. As many 1 ton YJs that are out there you'd think someone would have a "magic" number but i haven't found it. Any other thoughts? what about an 18" lower? I have the threads to handle it. Maybe a smaller rate, longer spring? Or am i thinking all wrong? I am still unclear how to set my ride height (say 24" belly just for example) how do you build coilovers around that? Im really a pretty decent wrench, but this coilover stuff has me really thinking. Live and learn i guess. [/QUOTE]
