Hey guys,

I asked this a while back and finally decided to get a blade to my skil saw today. These are the factory springs that I sold with my yellow 69. Th PO said I could have them. I can't be sure that the ones on my truck now have been tampered with.

Well, I cut one coil off from the bottom (the fat end) and it just didn't seem like that much. I thought maybe some guys here had some measurements on a 2 inch drop spring I could compare to. That is the drop I'm after, because I have drop spindles also.

Thanks,

Bryan
