I finally got my front springs on this week. I think 250 lbs might turn out to be a bit light for my taste. So far, I feel like the front end is a bit "thunky" - it seems noisier, like it's under duress all the time, where the progressive springs seemed more comfortable with the terrain.
I turned my fox clickers up to medium (from soft) which helped a little. I'll run them for a while and see what I think. It's hard to really compare between these things. It'd be great if you could switch back and forth immediately to test.
The worst thing about the install is that the shocks were an inch longer than their mounts once reassembled. I had to use my spring compressor to clamp it up some, then I had to hand push the shock against the hydraulics, then put it in place and quickly get the bottom bolt through before the piston pushed it back too long. Major PITA.
