Had some new Progressive rate Spring made

[Gsteve]

ahhhh you guys are gonna cost me $$$$ I have the wsi hd in the back and like them fine. I went to mid perch and there is pros and cons. I like the fact that it has lost that loose stuttery feel over cracks and small bumps , almost like the shock does nothing in the first inch of travel. I don't like the added lift in the front and i don't like the stiffness in the front. It feels stiffer than the rear by maybe 20%. Im i right in thinking these springs will get me in the middle of bottom perch and mid perch in ride quality ?

Ok I have tried stock springs on all perch settings. I liked the mid the best. Top was horrible unless you push the truck hard but they did pogo a lot. I now have the progressives on mid perch. I like the height as it is pretty much the same as stockers on top perch. The ride isn't good on stutters or expansion joints, it acts similar to the stockers on top perch. They don't pogo as much like this but I'm still not happy. They perform well when pushed but everyday driving is where they lack on mid perch. I think i need to go down to the bottom perch. Also with the front of the truck this high, it seems to make the rear suspension work more. I do have +2 deavers, and with the progressives on mid or the stockers on top perch, I can feel the back hitting the bumps more often, even in everyday driving. I only have 100 miles them and I do like the height, but I think the front needs to be lower to help the back and in turn be more compliant up front.

Thoughts??

I can't chime in with a recommendation but if you do bring them down to stock perch I'd like your opinion on stock springs at mid perch vs progressive at stock perch.

Or anybody else that has experienced both settings, which did you like better?

Actually, the link I posted is a direct link to my post about my impressions on the UTV springs vs mid-perch.

Of course, it wouldn't hurt to read the whole thread.

So next Monday I am going all in. That is progressive springs on mid perch in a 14. My buddy little_D has been communicating with me about his experience on a 13 model and lack of any issues after over 16,000 miles on this setting with progressive springs. I will include Alpha 1 tie rods and SVC 1.5 inch UCA 's while I am under there. I will let folks know my feelings on the ride etc and post some pics.

Might I humbly suggest just going to a 3.0 coilover, and skipping the uca, tie rods and springs.
The uca's and tie rods were more of a "feel good" mod in my experience.
With just the 3.0 coilover, you'll have more ride height adjustability, and much more offroad performance. And the price is going to be close enough to the tie rods/uca/springs to justify it.

How are these labeled Geiser Bros.? Did they help with the design?
