steve b Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 How much weight do you think you've added?Ā If within the normal load rating for an 88 then std. springs will workĀ Jones springsĀ , all other suppliers are variable . They can advise if you need something non std. Ā Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Despite sitting lower than when empty, is it actually too low? I think I'd be looking forward to the softer ride afforded by carrying a bit of weight. I recall the TIC parabolics I had on my 88" were quite spine-jarring.
