I just finished my sas recently and the front isnt moving as much as it should. Im using a 6in rustys xj coil...........

What coil spring are u guys using. I think i need something softer than what i currently have.

Any suggestions?

Most guys are running EB (wildhorse or Duff) progressive rate coils.
 






RE coils are the way to go. Are you running control arms or torsion bars?
 






Im running a 4 link plus parhard bar...........

I know the R.E. stuff is soft but would a xj,zj, or tj work best? I may have to call and ask for spring rates but i hear some places wont tell you.
 






ZJ I would think. Thats what most of the guys at my shop who run coils are using.
 






Rustys is what my bro runs. RE is as good as anything, but rustys have a 6.5" coil that yields 7" on his XJ. I run Tera Flex coils on my TJ and I love them. Good ride, no sag and it sits level side to side and front to rear.

Did you really just ask if he used torsion bars for his SAS? :confused:

Are you sure your links are binding up causeing your flex to bind up?
 






he probably ment radius arms, not torsion bars ;)
 






I dont think so............if i back up a ramp the front flexes awesome.
