[QUOTE="waggener1, post: 390812, member: 5351"] The correct answer is ....... It all depends. There are a number of factors to take into consideration, shock travel, individual spring rates, combined spring rate, stop collar location (tender spring lockout), the angle that the shock is mounted, and the list goes on. You could even bring conservation of mechanical energy into the picture. I'm certainly not an expert, nor do I claim to be one. Pirate 4x4 has the most comprehensive article (that I've found) concerning this topic. I would encourage you to take a look at "The Coilover Bible" articles written by Bill Ansell. There's a tremendous amount of information there. The quick and dirty answer....... I've heard some say, run a main spring length equal to your shock travel and a tender spring length two inches shorter than the main. [/QUOTE]
