Suggestions on Progressive front shocks needed

In the rear, even 2” of lift with aftermarket leaf packs and longer shocks can necessitate longer brake lines.

 

No for sure not me. I wanted to concentrate on more travel without sacrificing down travel and run over little washboards smoothly. I was always pro higher spring rate when you add weight and want lift. My 2nd gen has 810lb springs on Dobinsons Digressives, then before that IronMan Digressives.

For comparison I put some Bilstein digressives in the rear. The difference is obvious. Speed bumps are good test. If you hit one at speed and there is a more sudden jolt then feels like the front wheels drop off the backside then your running Digressive shocks and your down travel is being limited because your spring rate is too high.

Offroad I have found no benefit to Digressive shocks, I do not see why most manufacturers go that way.
