JEEPWERX CJ7 Buggy Style

this is how i would set it up 

rear: 6" shaft showing, 8" shaft compressed, 1" of coil preload= total rate of 57lbs/in      ~ 14" 100/ 16" 150  =60lbs/in
Front 7" shaft showing, 9" shaft compressed, 1" of coil preload= total rate of 55lbs/in     ~ 16" 100/ 18" 125  =55.5 lbs/in

i like running 50/50 shaft showing for racing, so with 2-3" of preload you could get there if you wanted over wreck wheeling status.


another trick, you can actually fit 18/18 on a 16" shock or 16/16 on a 14" shock, but since you have different shocks all your coils can be the same anyway.

Can you fit a 18" and 16" on a 14" shock?  Seems tight.

[JEEPWERX]

are your air shocks now 14" and 16"  or?

Air shocks are currently 16" front and rear.

I bought 14" coil overs. But was worried up front it would severly limit my travel in the rocks, so I also have a pair of 16".

I'll most likely run the 14" front and rear.
And sell the 16".

oopps cut and paste error, fixed

oh, so you have 6 shocks... ok ill rerun the numbers.. i would get all 16" springs then

[JEEPWERX]

Why re run numbers?
I was gonna run 14" front and rear.

i ran numbers for 14" and 16"   going to 14/14 in the front will need more rate with less spring to compress at ride

[JEEPWERX]

Ok
What does this mean?
14" shock in front
16" in rear?

i should just stop over and show you how to run the numbers sometime.  your situation is real easy with knowing air shock pressure on a 1 3/8" shaft


i think we are getting confused with what shocks where


if you had 16" on it for wreck wheel shaft showing (60/40ish), going to 14"'s with Race shaft showing (50/50) should work out great, and keep all your coils at 16"s to allow swapping around if you need.

I have 125/125 on the front of my Yj. 14" saw coilovers. I will take a pic I have about 4"-5" shaft showing. 1" preload.
