    Rear Spring-330 or 360-lb?

    My 9-leaf is too fatigued--looking at replacing it with VBP Composite Monospring. Who has had experience with spring rates--do I really need a 360-lb or will the 330-lb work for general gearheading around town and the occassional bootleg turnaround? Thanks. Mike

    Ride Height Issue Follow-Up

    [At this point I think I am going to add the rubber spacers in the front lower control arm buckets and then jack the rear up.] Would be good to hear from others, but I tried the rubber "biscuits" with a pair of Guldstrand front coils years ago--one coil kept "slipping" in the A-frame socket...
