Need help deciding Spring-Rates

[Derek69SS]

Thanks Dennis, will that still be tolerable on rough roads and long distances?

BTW, I changed the plan from Fatman spindles to the tall ball-joints because I got sick of hearing "next week" for when I'd be able to get the spindles I'm thinking AFCO 9.5" springs with the height adjusters... is this also what you'd recommend?

Oh yeah, the ride isn't bad at all. The hidden adjusters are the only way to go.

Dennis,

Do you have a pic of these hidden adjusters?

Thanks, Jody

I do intend to run these, and AFCO springs

I'm looking for about 3" drop over stock... my lower ball joints give me 1/2" drop, so 2-1/2" spring drop is what I need. Do I go with the 9.5" springs and the short adjusters?

I'd go with the tall adjusters. A stock free length "A" body coil is typically 17" or so at around a 350lbs rate. The 9.5 coil with a 5.5 adjuster comes in at 15" max height and around 13" min height. AT min that that about 3" of drop (considering the increased rate won't compress as much). You can always trim a little of the tall adjusters if need be; in fact, there is enough material to trim about 2.5" of the tall adjusters.

I just ordered the 9.5" 700lb front springs and the tall spacers, as Thanks again

I may temporarily run my existing rear end configuration (which really sucks, but I'm blowing through my funds way too quickly)

I picked up a pair of Black Magic rear springs from Circle Track Supply I think, they were only about 90/pair with shipping.
