1. thats what im looking for shorter and stiffer is what i want.

2. you cant rock coils in the winter. i was going to buy them but theres no point in dishing out the money to use them for a month then putting stock back on… ill buy them in spring

3. my boss (the welder and fabricator of 45 years) is the one who told me i would have no problem doing it. he works with metal heating it and such for a living so i think he knows what hes talking about aswell.

to everyone posting this thread is dead. im going to do it and im going to do it safely so no1 will get hurt and if your worryed about me hitting you or any of your family members ect… then tell them and yourself to say inside 24/7 incase i pull a ‘car blows up and hits a truck and flips killing millions because of weak springs’

that is all.
