without measuring it is tough to know for sure.....the rough ride could be from bad/sticking bushings or from the shocks (KYB's???)
the springs come off in about 15 minutes worth of work....you can use free weights to get pretty darn close to the spring rate.... |

You might also consider turning off the CAPS LOCK. In some places on-line, it's considered the equivalent to shouting.

Yeah they are KYB ,called Pelican they are definetly 100lbs, shocks seem in good order,still doesnt solve my ride height problem so like a back woods boogan I cut 3 coils off ,went around the block seems to ride better evn though cutting them makes for a higher spring rates Before
