I know that the talion comes with 2000cst~160wt oil in the shocks. Is this too thick? If so what would be a better option for general bashing and a few jumps here and there. Also why are they front springs stiffer than the rear?
Now onto diff oil. Would 60k-500k-30k (f-c-r) be a good combo for the diffs?

Most of it is personal and influenced by your driving style.

I feel that the stock setting is pretty spot on.

Also why are they front springs stiffer than the rear?
Because the shocks are mounted further out on the arm in the rear.

Again, I think that the stock setting (10-100-10) is pretty good, aggressive, but not overly so. it's still enough for wheelies and standing backflips, while keeping the agility. but I'm a minority here in that opinion, most would suggest the numbers you mentioned.
 
I’m also wondering what the best set up is. My Talion is only a few weeks old but my center diff is nearly history, after a run it’s just about hot enough to melt the plastic case so I’ve definitely got to go with a heavier fluid.

If I get the backflip lp’s, would 60/200/30 be good for diff oil or should I move the center oil up to 500k instead
