Camper special spring stiffness?
Camper special spring stiffness?
Just a quick question about coils. The donor truck for my slick was a 78 Camper special (460) (My slick has a 302.) I was originally planning on transferring the whole front end unit to the slick, but I am wondering if these springs (especially after cutting a coil off) would be too stiff for comfort? The camper special had a sway bar which I will transfer to the slick, but as for these springs I am wondering if it would ride like a lumber wagon & I should keep my slicks springs to retain ride comfort?

Kellxr7,
Cutting a coil off of the 460 coils would stiffen it up noticeably, and probably drop the front a 1" to 1.5".
If you want to keep the same ride height, I'd switch out the coils with the ones you are using now.
I would guess not, but I don't know if cutting the coils and lowering the front would affect the front end alignment at all....?
