Looking for gently used 2.5 coil over springs 14" tall 350# and or 12" tall 250# want to try to soften up the rear suspension without breaking the bank. Experimenting :?

How are the shocks valved? A big part of the ride comes from being valved properly. If they are set up too hard on valving they could be the right springs, just valved wrong. Re-valving is way cheaper than re-springing. Just something to consider.

I run a 40 on compression and 60 on rebound. I have over sprung the shocks but I was originally set up for high speed over whoops and terrain with no rocks in Florida. I want to soften up my spring rates to allow more flex of the suspension. I currently run a 12" 350# upper spring and a 14" 450# lower.
