Just purchased 2008 Trooper 2 5/1/16

[GMANLV 1]

Hello. Just picked up an '08 T2, still waiting to get it into the dirt. I did some reading on shocks, but was unable to find a consensus spring rate. If any one knows please chime in. Also has anyone put their Trooper on a diet?

PS, I had 600 over 400 springs on the rear of my 08 and it was way too much, I had Yearben shocks and spring installed on my 2015 when I bought it and they seem to be doing great.

That surprising, it's only a 240lb main rate. I run #350 over #600 on my highly modified Joyner SV 250/cbr600. It's has more leverage on the shock, but it's almost half the weight of a trooper.

I adding the saturn vue power steering at the moment.

Are you telling me my Yearbens have a 240 # spring? Probably enough for me, I never go flying like that 3rd photo (on purpose) How about some more photo, please.

I have no idea of the yearbens spring rate. However on a dual rate setup your main rate equals (spring1 x spring 2)/ (spring1 + spring 2).

Here's some photo of our rides.
