Re: Need stiffer suspension

MidLifer, Cdowns, I don't know the tongue weight. It's a mobile concession trailer (see pic). I can't do much to change the weight distribution outside of strapping a bunch of weight to the back of it.

I'm wondering if my springs might be shot. I noticed this morning that the 3 middle coils were almost touching without the trailer. I'll take some pictures of the springs with and without the trailer later today and post them here.

I did a little more reading and it looks like I might benefit by replacing them with variable rate springs.

Thanks for the help.
