Help with spring rate, off camber situations with a heavy rig
You can see what I am running below. Im running a fairly heavy rig right now. One thing that I dont like is during off camber situations my springs are not "stiff" enough to keep the body more level. With the heavy weight I am really leaning into the grades more than I want. My question is... is there are spring more adept for what I want, or should my jeep go on a diet.

Please explain the benefit of this system over a rubi system or any other. My main thing I am looking for is a more level body with flex. It seems the end where the flex is, the spring is not rebounding enough if that makes sense.

I run the Anti rock in the rear, and will be running something like the Teraflex in the front. The anti rock has helped me a lot with off camber situations, and I would highly recommend a system like that.
Another thing that has helped me in off camber situations is this:

Once you hit 45 degrees, you know you went too far.

I think that would help more with on road, but off road, if I am disconnected on the trail I dont see how that system would help me?
