Sorry, my bad. I thought you were the same guy as "Road Runner" on FJRiders forum.

I may or may not get to SEOH Ramble. If I do you can take mine out for test ride.

I have the same shock. I'm 200 lbs and have both the 850 and 900 lb springs. The 850 lb spring works best for me, but now the shock is probably 10 years old with 85000 miles on it, and still good with no leak.
