I have a jeep yj with tube backhalf....look at build..poorboy rockhopper..... I order 16" dual rate coilovers with 18" 200lb lowers and 14" 150lb springs and it was too stiff and gave me approx 8/9" uptravel. I am swapping to 18" 150lb lowers and 14" 100lb uppers. Shooting for 4/5" uptravel

I would guess a 16" 150lb and a 14" 100lb would be very close.

Weigh it and call EOR. They will sell you the coilovers valved cheap and swap springs with you a few times to get them right. Jimmy knows his ****.

X2 I ran this combo on a truck very similar and it worked great.

Seems stiff as **** to me. I dont have coilovers in the rear but do in the front. But i use coilover springs for my rear suspension. They are se-up as normal coil springs captured on both ends. And i run 14" 175lb
Up front on my coilovers i run 150 bottom 100 upper. Of course your heavier in the front.
