To start my rig is a full bodied, full width, not exactly light pig. Around 4500 lbs me in it. I originally started with 255/70 valved 5125s in the rear mounted vertically through the floor. I changed my front end setup and started to get into the go fast thing. I've got the front perfectly set up with some Profender 2.5's but the rear was lacking, specifically in the compression department. I ordered up some Bilstein 7100 short bodies in 360/80 valving.
This improved the rear dramatically but I'm still lacking in the compression. The rear bottoms way too easily compared to the front. I've got about 5" of uptravel and progressive poly bumps.
Researching online it seems most leaf sprung go fast rigs run extremely light on the rebound, something I'm not anywhere near. Would I benefit from dropping the rebound to say a "180"? Or should I bump the compression up to "135" or "160"? Or change up both?
The leaf pack I'm running is a relatively stiff 7 leaf custom pack. I don't think its a spring problem, but more of a heavy crawler trying to jeepspeed.
