You really need to figure out the ride height you want to run. You also have to weigh the rig, then corner weight for best results. Honestly there are a ton of opinions on how you have to do it, and what spring length and weight you need to run. I should have just used the calculator link below and started that way, but i was lucky enough to be able to swap springs at my local ORW, sometimes they don't allow you too. Other companies will let you exchange springs if they aren't thrashed. You can also start by seeing what other people are doing for spring rates, but it will be different because of angles and setups, but it will give you a good start. But you also have to think of valving as you can run a light spring with stiff valving or vise versa really up to you. But it takes time to set up a non bolt on like those from Rebel or ORE. Even those need tuning and adjusting to get what you want. But a custom built setup for your rig is by far the best way to go about it IMO.

I think there was a thread started on here somewhere with spring rates and valving. If not might be a good idea to start since coil over set ups are getting popular.

Check out these links for some great info. He gives you the calculator for initial rates and also how to re check and change.

They are adjustable so Essentially could be dialed in to whatever you feel is best but that would take a lot of tinkering to get where you may feel is best compared to others. I've always been told not to tune with coils. Get coils for your ride height and preload then tune via nitrogen pressure and shims. But some may disagree.

Do you have any ride height pictures with wheels on?

So, as I said, If you are using your jeep on a daily basis of long distance road driving / highway driving, and only playing off road on the weekends, then think twice about coil overs.
