Re: Need softer springs...
Nick,
I have learned with most new springs that they take a while to break in and
soften up. Put some miles on them, also when you take your jeep on trails
you may not perform so well since the flex (or lack of) you have will have a
tendency to pick up you tires, a locker may need to be in the future for you
so you just don't sit there on the trails spinning tires.
