so i'm trying to calculate spring rates for the front of my xj when i swap in some coilovers.
the front corner weight is about 770lbs, the rear is about 670lbs.
in the rear, i am triple rate, 16" travel, 14" 200lb spring over a 16" 300lb spring.
I have the stop ring set about 3" above the dual rate slider at ride height. I do not know if this is right, but it was about 5-6" above it before and it seems a little better now. i cannot find any decent info online for setting the stop rings in a rock crawling/occasional fireroad sprinter/full bodied type setup. should i be running a softer upper spring but have my stop ring set much closer to the slider? i'm thinking a 135lb primary rate would be ideal for the front at 5" of lift, near 50% droop.
