Could I use the Bearmach Big Blue springs in the back, according to the CB lift? Would they balance out with my old rears in the front? I would like to eventually have them all the way around, but the summer job isn't keeping up with the mods. Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate the help.

depends on which big blues. CB is equivalent to ~2in lift springs.

In all likelihood, yes it will work.

I had big blues and they sagged quickly, since then I am told they have upped quality considerably. I know Jeff has a set of big blues, maybe David Gage or Leslie knows how they are doing? I think David had the measurements for it too at one point. I am fairly certain you can get the old style (ie light rate and flexy-sag quickly) or HD stiffer spring rates (the ones on the back of the 110 are some sick rate like 400lbs/in).

I say just do it. Whats worst case? an hour to put it back the way it was?

I know Jeff, and he is very happy with his new Blues. My only question was just using them in the back until I had it together to get the fronts as well. I didn't know if they were any different than just using say a pair of OME HDs. Thanks again.
