I just had a clayton long arm installed.I used my tera flex 3.5" coils and 2" spacers. Now it sits about 1.5" lower in the front them in the back. I know this is because it is nose heavy.(V8, ARB bumper, winch) And it looks like I gained about 1" of lift in back when I installed 8.8 with higher spring perches. So what I want to do is use Rusty's rear 5.5 coils with a spring rate of 160 and use R/K or Clayton's 7.0" in the front. Do I need to make sure that spring rate of the front coils matches the spring rate of the rears or what? Mike
