Title: Lift Spring Amount
Post by: enaberif on August 22, 2015, 11:03:46 pm

I installed what I thought and was told were 4" springs. When I put everything together and took the weight off and let it sit on the ground it looked like this. Now I know that this is not 4" but I'm thinking maybe 2" but its still weird how its arched. So maybe its a stock spring replacement? Any ideas? No visible markings on the springs.

If I placed them on the ground and measured could I do floor to top of spring?

It's a negative arch spring which "appears" like a factory one ton spring.

Yeah its just bizarre because these are narrower than stock springs and have yellow writing on them which you can't read.
