spring rates
I bought a 53 pu in a pile of parts and I'm working on the frame and coil overs are next on the list. It is dead cold snowy winter with salt stains on every car here in MN ,so I have no way to move it to a scale to be weighed.
It has a mustang 2 front end ,sbc with a 700R4 and a 20 gallon gas tank under the bed. The rest is stock. What I'm looking for is the weight or the the spring rate for the rear coil overs MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!! |

Re: spring rates
I have no personal experience with coil overs but what I think I would do is contact the outfit who makes the shocks you want to run.

Re: spring rates
I already tried that . They suggested 250# , then I talked to an experienced builder and he said that would be to light and I should weigh the truck. That is not possible here in MN this time of the yr. I don't even know anybody that has an enclosed car trailer.

Re: spring rates
Talk to C-RAY at Chris Alstons Chassisworks. He helped me out with my truck.
