Overload?
I'm putzing around with the chassis on my panel and was thinking about overload springs. I have a set of those overload springs for spring style rear suspension, but with a 6 inch drop in the rear the over loads would be in play all the time.
I was thinking after the body was back on the chassis, so I know how low its going to sit, I could have the over loads de-arched so they came in to play only when I was towing something or had a load in the back. Is this a viable thing to do? I suppose I could put helper bags in the back, but that would be quite a bit more expensive. Thoughts? Mark

Re: Overload?
The bags would ride much better. My dad had a 68 w/ rear coils. it had the factory helper leafs, that only came into play w/ a load. KIlled the ride quality. Everyone has a different purpose for their vehicle, though...

Re: Overload?
Not really worried about the ride quality, just want to know if they will still do what they are supposed to do if they are de-arched some. Appreciate your input though.
