I have RK 3" in the front and RK 4.5 in the back. I used longer springs in the back to give me more preload to get rid of the squat I had. I have just a touch of rake in the back now when I am not fully loaded. I would suggest getting some spacers in addition to the the longer springs. The RK springs are a little soft for carrying a bunch of crap.
Thanks. That helps a lot. I may go bigger in the rear then than 4.5. I plan to “interview” a bunch of of the spring vendors this coming week, now that I know my rake is mostly gone. I’m thinking 6-6.5 in the back.

Keep in mind coil bind if you compress a long weak spring to much your coils will bottom out on each other.

Hey all, been a while since I have posted over here. The family and army have been keeping me busy.

Been putting some work in on the JT so here are a few updates.

Today it got some new shoes. 37x12.50r17 Kanati Trail Hogs.

A few weeks ago I built and wired this nice bed power box. It’s fed by 4 AWG to a distribution block hidden above the spare. 3 -12v plugs, 1 usb, 1-50a Anderson.

The one and only 🤣

Fancy running into you over here, IntrepidXJ is over on the JL forum!

I miss those Jeepin.net/forum.com days
I figured it was you Brian, I happened to log in on Jeepin a month or so ago and saw that Jason’s son rolled the XJ. Hope all is well.

Damn, I didn’t even realize Jeepin was still active. Just counting down the years until I can get retirement number one from the Army. Hope all is well with you brother.

Hit 10K miles and did a oil change today with non spec fluid and non spec oil filter and drained with a Fumoto Valve installed. Hopefully nobody has a brain aneurism over it.

Did you use an essential oil? You know that some essential oils have shown potential for improving erectile health,.
