Bilstein or Fox

Are those the ZJ or XJ springs?
Either way that may be part of the problem, those springs are really soft for heavier rigs.


For relevance, I was running the RE ZJ 5.5" springs with 275/78 Bilstein 7100s. I had quite a bit of body roll in the front end when when dropping off obstacles so I switched to a Skyjacker 8" XJ coil which has a much stiffer spring rate. I had been really happy with that setup over the last several years(40,000+ miles) untill my rig lost 500+ pounds. Now I'm wanting to go back to a softer coil.

Yep dropping off of obstacles, it rocks back and forth quite a bit. It was great until I added the winch and bumpers. Want to trade springs :)
