That's very surprising to me - the fact that your JRZs require a 6" spring plus a 60mm helper to take up all the droop travel implies they have more than 8" of total stroke, I am surprised they are not shorter to work more efficiently at lower ride heights.
For reference, my Ohlins have under 6" of total stroke - ie a 6" spring without helper is slightly preloaded. I am going to measure the droop this weekend to figure out if my 5" springs can work or if they will require a helper.
