Ok I've been running around for a while now with the Evo Bolt on's and LOVE them!!
Other than being so damn noisy (AGM sliders are on there way) my only rear issue is that the rear seems to be too soft. And here's what I've tried so far...
I've cranked the top ring down some and it helped, but looked kinda stupid having the ass end in the air like a hot rod.
Sooo I lowered them back down and turned down the "transition rings"? Dunno what the 2 silver lock rings are called but in my mind they do just that. Transition weight to the lower, stiffer spring when you cycle the suspension.
So right now I have the lower spring pre loaded about 3/4-1" with the 2 silver rings, again this helped with the bottoming out but it seems to me something is being wasted by just using the lower spring. Again it helped reduce the bottoming out but with the wife, kid, cooler, and a Tupperware container in the back and heading up some steep hills and fast g-outs on fire roads it would still hit the bumps.
Right now my kings are set up from evo with a 200/250 coils. I've been contemplating doing a 250/250 setup, or a 200/300 but I think I'll be in the same boat I'm in now not utilizing the lighter spring.
Next on my to-do list is air bumps, but I don't want to be using the bumps as shocks.
Who's done testing with springs? Anybody else have this problem? Not really trying to or with anybody in the jeep with a soft top I can slam the axle into the bumps quite easily.
Talk to me people!!??
