Keep it at 200. You can run less for a slightly lower ride height but its not worth the shock not working properly. Play with your coil ratings or worst case- remount your coilovers.

160-200 is a safe range, but lower is not always a bad thing. Valving and spring rate are far more important. In the rear of mine, I was running 100 over 150 during the season...way too soft for the trail loaded with gear though. Also, a lot can be said about keeping the spring rates closer to each other. Some guys are running 150 over 350 and other wide ranges....good for the rocks I guess, but wierd at speed;)

Damn keith. When I bought my coilovers they already had a 300lb lower and a 225 upper. Charged the shocks and put them under the rig and had 11"-12" of shock showing. I guess I did shave off a good amount of weight.
