I received my new HD Bilsteins for the rear today and will be installing as soon as I remove the motor - several questions:
1) How do I know if I have the stock springs, or heavier ones? I am assuming stock - they are black. 2) Which notch do I put the spring perch on? At least a starting point? It appears to have ~5-6 notches. |

the "free" length of stock spring is I think 18"....that is if it has not been cut, then again, it wouldn't be stock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
best bet is to remove springs and measure them....the amount of pounds it takes to compress them 1" is what the spring rate is.... |
