Default Skunk 2 Springs

Has anybody tried using 4 rear skunk 2 springs to even out the drop? Just wondering & if you have pics please feel free to post them. I was going to try this if I had donor rear springs or bought them cheap.

I'll trade you one set, your choice. I can live with the ride height of either set.

My only requirement is you ship first, and we pay our own shipping. Mine have <20k miles on them.

^ you've got PM. I'd rather have the lower one. I believe its the 8 coil one(rear according to skunk 2 instructions).. I just bought mine & have 400 miles on them.




Rear says, lower 8 coil.

Just count the coils.. It doesn't matter where you put them.

And I'd prefer the higher one, seeing as the Chicago-land roads are terrible. I hit my front on enough stuff as it is.

I'll give you a call soon!

^ that is a good question. I'd like to know also. So far I like the ride of the skunk 2. For the drop & ride it feels like stock to me.

ride height is that important?

do you even know the spring rate and how much droop travel you have running 4 rear spring?
