I built a rear triangulated 4 link setup on my YJ about a year ago. For the most part it's been great off-road but on road is no better than leaf springs. I can live with that but what I can't understand is why the Jeep will sit at a certain height in the garage but after hitting a bump it stepping on the bumper, the shocks don't want to come all the way back up to ride height.
I've got 14" Fox coilovers with the remote reservoir. At ride height, I'm sitting 9" in the travel of the shock. My Jeep is pretty light and my springs were initially 95lb and 80lb springs and it rode level. I bumped that up to 110/80 and then 110/95 but it still won't come back up if fully compressed. I've played with the dual rate nuts so that the Jeep would sit on the lower spring at ride height but still nothing. The shocks are pumped up to 200psi as per Fox's recommendation.
Should I be trying stiffer springs still or try playing with the rebound washer stack? I've got the compression settings off the scale on the low end and it's still harsh hitting a bump.
It starts at normal ride height and will sit there until any forces act on it. When I push it down, it will stay there as well until something acts on it. You may have to pick a spot on the wall to reference the bumper height when I push/pull it.
