140# = spring compressed 1" from uncompressed height
so unless you have a spring tester, you stack weights on the spring until it moves down 1" and add up the weight or 2" and divide by 2 you can also search here or google for a spring calculator that you count the number of coils and measure the thickness of the springs. |
