Since there has been a thread of discussion on custom springs, I have a question that I'd like to put to the minds of the list. If you were having custom springs made for a Westy, would it be worth having the left side springs slightly stronger, given that all the cabinetry and water and propane tanks are on that side? Or is the additional weight on that side insignificant enough to be ignored - or the potential problems with mis-matched left to right springs not worth considering this idea. Thoughts?
