Re: Make it handle

Looks like this could be a good time to ask something that I have been scratching my head over. On the Hotchkis site, they show that their spring rates for 67-72 trucks are 1100/380 lbs/in! Those rates sound extremely high to me, I can't afford to drive down the road and knock the fillings out of my teeth. What do you think of these rates Rob? I gather you like the soft spring/ big bar approach. Hotchkis is using a 1 1/4" front bar with those springs in the TVS kit. The other question is about them using a 4" drop spring and no dropped spindle. I don't see that as being an ideal set up. Thanks for all your input Rob!
