[QUOTE="escapefjrtist, post: 1445156, member: 238"] Let's check some settings first. With your weight, I don't understand the need for a heavier spring. What exactly leads you (symptoms) to believe that? First, what are the dampening settings set at? Number of clicks from full hard. What length spring do you have and how much initial preload is on it? Where is the ride height set at? Regarding increasing the ride height. I've done that on both FJR and Tenere to slightly quicken the steering and when loaded, stay closer to stock geometry. Works wonders. I'd begin with 3-4 mm between jamb nut and clevis. If jamb nut is tight against clevis then you're at stock shock length. For replacement springs, check out [URL='https://www.resuspension.com/']RESuspension[/URL] or other on-line retailers. The FJR Penske normally uses 2.25" X 6". Hypercoil or Eibach work equally well. Good luck. ~G [/QUOTE]
