Is there any way to calculate how much lift I will have with the new OME springs before installing? Trying to decide whether to put spacers in on the first try.
Spring length: 16.5"
Spring rate: 360 lbs/in
Estimated cargo weight: 550 pounds
D2's weigh 4,600 pounds stock, how much of that weight is supported by the rear springs? If I knew that number, let's estimate it at 1,200 pounds, then:
1200+550= 1,750
1,750/360= 4.8" in
16.5-4.8 = 11.7" spring height (doesn't sound right)
My RTE springs are 17.25" uncompressed (new), and they measure at 13" installed (post sagging).
