    And yes I am getting different springs for my top spring. I over estimated my corner sprung weight for the front just a tad.

    Follow this:

    -with my current 225/300 spring combination I have a rate 128#/in
    -with the weight of the truck on this setup I have 7" of shaft showing
    -so the shock compressed 7" under the vehicle load
    - 7" * 128#/in = 896# (I had guessed 1300# per corner)

    So I think I am gonna switch to 125/300.

    - 125/300 is a combined rate of 88#/in
    - 896# / (88#/in) = 10.18" the new springs will compress

    That will put me right at 10" down, 4" up, and give me room for a little adjustment depending how I preload. This will be perfect and right where I had designed everything for.

    Right now I can't back off on the coilover anymore bc I am already at zero preload.
