Re: Need some stance pics with jeep springs and coil cut
Yes, I know, that is why I posted it.
There is only ONE exception to that rule of rates and cutting. IF there are coils "stacked" together at one, or either end of the spring, then, cutting any stacked coil off shouldn't alter the spring rate, just tailor the overall length.
Another spring rule is, the coil steel is hardened and tempered. IF a spring is shortened by heating cherry red a section of the coil that is along its run, NOT in the stack areas of the ends. then, when the spring cools back off, it becomes very brittle, and can crack/fracture, separating the spring into two or more pieces, and causing the suspension to collapse.
