[QUOTE="carlson_mn, post: 868026, member: 17400"] thanks for the tips guys. And yes, the FJR does not like the rear lifted very much without it feeling very off on the freeway and just twitchy all around. I've got the Wilbers turned out a couple turns so maybe a half inch of thread showing - not sure where it sits compared to factory height, probably about 2/3" more and it is ok there. I've got it more dialed in now and I'm just gonna ride it! Not sure what pound spring it is - I got it 2nd hand but his specs are similar to yours, so it probably has a 580lb or so. 2 up it could really use more spring that's for sure but it's great solo. I noticed that as I raised up the rear, a little less preload and a bit more rebound dampening really smoothed it out overall. [/QUOTE]
