Technical Leaf Spring Question

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Kewl Bus, Aug 18, 2019.

  1. Newbie Question: I am changing chassis and the one I am going to is a heaver capacity chassis. If the ride is terrible which leaf should I remove first The short ones or longer ones?

    Thanks

    The short ones! [This is a very common practice with different rated "trailer" springs]

    The longer a spring is, the stiffer it is.

    I would pull every other one then add them back as needed. Add the longer ones first.
