Stock rear spring Q's

[southernspeed]

I'm putting a flip on my '91 and was considering taking out the overload/assister pring from the pack. I've got to make some zero rates anyway to get the right lift so I could just make them that much thicker.
Is this a safe idea and will it make for a softer ride and better flex?
I'm not going to be hauling heavy parts around in it anymore.
Whadya think??

Mine got softer just doing the flip itself . It will be super soft without the overload .

Try it out before you remove any springs, I think you will be surprised.

Ok guys thanks, I'll get the ride height sorted out and see how it feels.
Don't want to get too comfy eh?!!!

on my front zero-rates, i machined them to 6* i welded on a piece of 1/4" to make up the lost material. so if you had regular zeros and wanted to remove the overload you could always blast on some material later
