Ok lets start out with a per corner sprung weight (in lbs.) Are these going in the front or rear? Also, what travel are you looking for?

I've been wondering which way to go myself.
I've been thinking about what I would need to get the weight at
each corner.
weight of wheel, tire, approx. half the weight of the engine(up front) and half the weight of the axle?
For the tranny and transfercase, maybe 1/4 the weight at each end?

Is there a specific formula for this?
Or do people actually weigh each corner of their rig on a scale?

im tring with a high lift at each corner and a home scale


......but its out of range .......

I'll have to get a larger one


.....

any how my jeep shoul be more or les 1200 kgs without tires alexls and wheels

so 700 kgs front 500 rear

thats 350 per corner front 250 per corner rear


.....

14 iniches of travel front 16 rear


front and rear set up
