DirtyComanche Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Dunno where my handy dandy book went. Anybody know the formula for calculating spring rates (leaf springs)? Better yet, anybody know the rate of the stock MJ rear springs? And maybe with the extra main leaf mod... Okay, nobody will know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyComanche Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Yeah, that's sweet if you want to do it that way. But there's actually a calculation that works based on leaf number, thickness, length, etc... I'll just find my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I have it in an Excel spreadsheet, and I don't know how well formulae transfer to a web page. Let's see if I can make this look like it makes sense: (leaf width x number of leaves / 72) X (1820 x leaf thickness / spring length) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Gotcha, thanks. We'll see what my springs work out to, and if TJ coils will be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Front or rear coils.. I think the fronts might be close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
