RE: SS Spring thing

[Herb <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One other thing is I have heard some grumbling that the SS springs of today
are not as good of quality as in the past.  My springs settled more than I
had expected also, but not as bad as what was on it when I got it!  It was
suggested on another site to get a set of adjustable coil over shocks to
assist the SS springs?

O.K. I think Herb has cleared it up.  If I made a mistake it was
probably buying spring with a too light rating 3400# rather than say
3800#.  Thanks Herb.
