I think my question may have been mis-interpreted. I have read and understood the whole thread. And, i do get the theory behind Fred's set up technique. Apart from ONE question that i can't work out.

On a 2wd rear motor truck (in my case an SC10), i seem to need stiffer rear springs (due to more weight at the rear), to get a correct spring balance. Now, my simple question was, how come one all the SC10 set up sheets i see, including the AE team drivers, everyone runs stiffer front springs if having balanced front and rear works better?

Maybe i'm reading too much into this set up, but i just can't get my head around that.
