o_teunico Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Just a doubt I have regardind 1/4 elliptic suspension. If I cut a spring at half for creating a 1/4 setup, the load rating is retained or reduced to the half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill van snorkle Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Just a doubt I have regardind 1/4 elliptic suspension. If I cut a spring at half for creating a 1/4 setup, the load rating is retained or reduced to the half? I think the spring rate is doubled. If you cantilever mount the spring by clamping the centre to a pivot point on the chassis like on a tandem drive truck bogie, but shackle the other end of the spring to the chassis you should get good wheel travel plus a smooth ride. I think Deranged on here has done that with his SWB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
