I'm doing a double triangulated 4 link rear and contemplating a 3 link front. What spring rates are you guys using for the rear? Front? Or which coils? Believe me. I've read and read. I know people commonly use TJ, XJ, ZJ, Summit and other coils. I have the general consensus but wanted to get experienced input so I'm not trading out coils 2 or 3 times.
My CJ is going to be a part-time DD. I've build a super beefy frame, stretched it by 24" and upgrading to a 351W with rear Ford 9" and front D44 so it will have considerable extra weight overall compared to stock.

just my 2 cents...

I converted my CJ to a 3 link rear and proceeded to try many different coils before i got it right. Im now running stock rear tj coils and they match up with my 4.5" xj springs in the front very well. RS5000s at all 4 corners.

RE 5.5" in the front; RE 4.5" in the rear.
