Rear springs

[Zukman]

I need new rear springs for the big zuk, Shipping the up here is stupid $$$$$$$. 116.95 ea. is the cheapest.

I found some at the Performance Shop here in town but, they are 2" lift springs only, 116.35 ea i will be saving a 100+$ a spring.

Now should i go with the 1 3/4 wide 40.5 long or the 2" wide 42"?

What's the difference in the spring rate? Also what's the difference on the center pin? Is either going to move the axle?

[Zukman]

Pins are centered on both. spring i am checking on.

[akram]

One thin to think about as well is if you got with the 42" springs what is that going to do the the angle of your shackle? Will it be pushed back to far?

[Zukman]

The shacke will be leaned back a lot and the rate is 10% over stock for both.

[Zukman]

Anyone got a good phone number for Marty?

[akram]

What's a lot? 45* is optimal.

Sent Marty's number to ya.

[Zukman]

At least 45 degrees.

[akram]

To me it depends on what kind of ride you want. softer springs for more flex? Or stiffer springs for a bumpy ride?

If the long ones wont push you much past 45* I'd got with those.

[Zukman]

I am not above pulling leafs out to get the ride i want and the 2" lift springs are looking like the only game in town.
