[QUOTE="truckbroke, post: 574973, member: 3236"] I need some opinions here. Been looking and racking my brain on what to do here. Ok so here`s what I got: Currently rig is a TJ, 110" WB, 43`s, Chevy TBI 350, 700R4, Atlas. I have 14" FOA`s all the way around. They all have the little helper spring up top. Everything I hear is if you don`t have to run them don`t. So that's what I`ve been trying to figure out. I have 2 FOX 2.0 with the helper spring already on them. They are stock valving at 50/70 and they have a 14" 300lb lower spring and a 225 12" upper spring. My buddy has been running them on the Front of his TJ (our rigs are very much alike) and they ride great but, are just a little soft on hard landings. I`m gonna put them on the BACK of my rig. I just bought 2 more Fox 2.0`s and had them valved 70c/50r and plan on putting them on the front of my rig. I was thinking I would run a 300lb lower spring and a 250 upper. I`m racking my brain on weather I can just put a 16" lower spring and a 14" upper spring and due away with the helper/triple rate set up or is that really gonna affect my ride height? I can buy the triple rate spring and run 14 lower and 12 upper just like whats going on the back but I just keep hereing if you can get away from that Do So as it really serves no purpose other than when the shock is extended. I`ve just been back and forth so I figured I`d post it up for some opinions. I really like my ride height as it sits now. That being said these FOA`s have the raised bottom spring seat and the FOX`s have the flat. Heres pic of the Jeep just for reference. [/QUOTE]
