OK. I have HD coil springs (1-2" lift from stock), and bilstein shocks all the way around.

I've driven the truck with the stock springs back in teh day.

The setup now is okay, but it is pretty rough on the road. We got the HD shocks partially for handling without sways, and partially for the lift. I still dream of how the truck felt with teh stock springs hitting bumps and not knowing they were there. Also, articulation would be better with a softer spring.

1. What is the springrate of stock RRC springs?
2. What is the diameter of stock RRC Springs?
3. What is the height of stock RRC Spring, unloaded, off the truck?

4. It seems when you go to a lifted spring, it's always a higher springrate. Why is this?

5. Could you not achieve a lift by installing a spring with the springrate of the stock spring, but with more coils/taller than the stock spring?

6. I was thinking if I knew the springrate I could either have a longer spring made with that springrate, or even find another make vehicle that has longer springs stock, of the same diameter and springrate.


Or am I totally off on the concept, and a longer spring with the same "springrate" has a higher springrate because of its length?
