Got myself confused. I can hear Glenn telling me to put the crack pipe down for a while! I have used a few spring rate calculators and came up with answers of 464 and 474 lb/in spring rate needed for my new suspension. If these are even close, how do I convert this number into a 16" long and 18" long spring combination? (That is what I currently have) They are 2.5" springs. I am attaching pics of my numbers, just in case someone can help me. The scale weight is the worst (most weight) scenario.NOTE: In my calculations, I considered my 16" shock to be a 10.75" shock, because I am not using the full stroke. Is this necessary?
What is R1 and R2? I plug my current springs, which are 125 and 175, into the equation and get 73. I don't understand what that number means.
