Explaining Lift Kit Spring Rates
|
A leaf spring in action! Note that the main leaf flexes more than the shorter ones and also before the others. These leaves show a tapered-end design with attached friction-reducing pads. The bottom leaf is for overload conditions and so is not tapered since its use is infrequent (only with heavy loads). The bolt has been removed from the spring clamp, which nets an extra smidgen of flex from the pack (the main leaf is now free to bend past the bolt hole). View Related Article
