Shock springs

[karatejosh]

Trying to order some shock springs and need to figure out my corner weight I need some 150 175 200 pound springs something like that to barrow for a short time the closer to raleigh the better

If you need to know the corner weight - why don't you weigh the truck?

I'm going to go weigh the truck right now I'm very new to coilovers but I was told I needed unsprung weight also

I believe you are correct. You are more interested in the weight of the frame and body at each corner, not necessarily the overall weight.

It will help to know it all If you can make it down to my shop and then bring the spring back you can borrow some of mine.

I've got a set of portable corner weight scales. I'll be at Uwharrie and DPG tomorrow but could possibly swing them by your place on Sunday if you need to get numbers. Can't leave them since theyre for work, but I can borrow em for a day if need be.

I think i got it done tell me what y'all think of this I had a buddy with digital corner scales just like what stretch has we weighed the buggy then I pulled the shock bolts and picked the chassis up with the car lift and left the wheeles tires axles and links on the scales so if I subtract that from the total weight I should have my unsprung weight I think lol
