so i found a spring rate calulator and goofin with #'s i beleive are close to mine
http://www.crawlpedia.com/spring_rate_calculator.htm
spring rate came out to be 2096 lb/in
it doesnt explain what that transfers(or i cant figure it out) to what primary spring you would use, any advice?
-
One ton per inch doesn't sound too likely. Misplaced decimal? 210 doesn't seem terribly unlikely

oic what i did, its not the deg the shock sits at ,but the deg distance from 90deg. im guessing for the rear possibly 500lbs a corner, gives me a new rate of 80lb/in. so my dual rate would be 80/125?
-
negative sir
-
125/80?
-
I'd check the profender spring calc but that quality app just sits here

Total rate is A/2+B/2 isn't it?

for me it comes up at a 80lb primary, but no one makes an 80, so i went up to a 100lb. it says to use a lower that is 20-50 stiffer so i got a 150lb, i coulda went up to 175. so in the end i ordered a 14" 100lb upper, 16" 150 lower

1/R1 + 1/R2 = 1/Rtotal
Rtotal = 1/(1/R1 + 1/R2)
Rt = 1/(1/100 + 1/150) = 1/ (.01 + .006666) = 60lb/in
you will be soft with too much PL (if you were shooting for 80 total rate)
80 on a 14" shaft at 50/50, with 2" preload would be 780lbs corner at ride. F=R *X = 80(7+2) = 780lbs
60 on a 14" shaft at 50/50, with 2" preload would be 540lbs corner at ride. F=R *X = 60(7+2) = 540lbs

inverses, fuck me! why can I never remember that??

fox site on DSC's says 25% change. Wayne said they were more like 5% hmm
Dual Speed Compression
The Dual Speed Compression (DSC) adjuster provides added control and comfort tuning for on-road use while also offering more aggressive damping for use off-road. The adjuster allows for precise suspension tuning with the simple twist of two clearly defined knobs: No tools and no mess, just a way to easily fine-tune your suspension to best suit your needs in any conditions. The DSC increases both low and high-speed compression levels up to 25%, allowing you to maximize small bump compliance and traction while still having the extra damping required for big hits.

Can't that seal just chill on the shaft 99% of the time? pretty much only needing to be installed when changing the shaft or working on lower eye R&R?
-
actually ya your probably right, i had to change the shaft while i was in there
