I would guess that 30% is a good starting point, but we have to find it...which probably means pulling the springs numerous times to get it right...i.e., finding the optimal sag, and then adjusting each wheel to that sag. I hope to get it pretty precise...assuming I do not have to pull the springs 10 times. We'll see how it goes. Any tips on simplifying/speeding-up spring removal or best compressors to use? > steve > Steve, Onward and upward.... Since you're going to put so much work into this, please weigh your van, if you have the facilities nearby. Try to get an accurate weight of each corner, and when you've found a setup that works well for you, maybe the rest of us can interpolate for the weight of our vans. Or do you think differing spring conditions (age and wear) would make this untenable? Larry |
